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?
I was hoping to remove it for 3.5; in fact, a quick decision about this
would give clear indications to GSoC 2011 students (I know it's a bit
late but at least, it would help for the rest of GSoC 2011).
