Or ...we
could make the appearance of this select list configurable, the
default being not visible. This way, people relying on this very old
feature could configure it if they want to, but for the majority, the
selector would be out of the way.
If we decide to do this, we should remove vertical support for the
special features like inline edit and the column reordering. All the new
stuff would be planned only for horizontal mode.
Sounds like a good idea. Making it invisible by default, then check
how many people complain about its disappearance ;-)
Then, if only little people notice the change, it could be removed
completely altogether.
I think making it invisible by default is a good step towards removing vertical mode
support. As Tyron said, we can check if there is complain about it.
Btw, (just to make sure) if we really want to remove the vertical support, it will be done
in the next version after 3.5, isn't it?
