#2 Events disappear vertically outside screen

[Rickard Lindberg]

Similar problem descriptions:

• Manually moving events vertically to prevent them to disappear outside screen is tedious
• Two events that are close but not overlapping are still drawn on top of eachother

The attached screenshot shows one example of an event that is partially outside the screen.

Suggested solution: Do nothing. Shift+Ctrl+Scroll wheel can be used to bring events into view.

Suggested solution: Draw events as close to the center line as possible. Only stack them on top of eachother if they would otherwise overlap.

Today an invisible padding is also used between two events. So even if they don't overlap they will still be stacked (see screenshot). This padding would need to be removed if events should always be drawn as close to the center line as possible.

Suggested solution: Add a button to automatically compact events.

A compact feature is now implemented as a menu choice
