Hi Frank, what did you mean by this? Which is the "instance" button?

Under the class list pane are three buttons - "instance", "?" and
"class". In a 500@400 browser, the "instance" label doesn't fit into
its button.

Ah, I've just realised I should have added "of a Browser" somewhere in
that sentence.

Re: The Inbox: ReleaseBuilder-fbs.84.mcz

Ah ok. Hmm, I wonder if this worth fixing this way? I think folks
will notice the button text doesn't fit into the button when they
resize the window and there are sure to be other cases of
less-than-perfect scaling (although I wonder what _would_ be the best
solution for that if we could simply snap our fingers and have it be
done? Just truncate the text to the edge of the button?).

I only mention this because, when windows open wider than tall, for me
it just feels.. clausterphobic. Lots of white space width but more
scroll bars needing vertical scrolling because of being scrunched
vertically.

I always thought we should set AlternativeBrowseIt true by default so
it would encourage folks to focus on the _domain_ model rather than
the package model. Lo-and-behold, "instance" fits wholly within the
button of the Hierarchy browser! :)

UI/user fail: this was meant to go to the list too.

It might be a terrible way to fix the problem. At any rate, 600x400 is
closer to the size I've always seen browsers default to. I was
surprised to see how squashed they look with extent 500x400.

I'm all up for revamping the UIs of the Tools, but if possible I'd
like to defer that to 4.5 :)
