[wingide-users] Drop-down list of classes at top of editor is scrolled up

[Hugh Gibson]

The drop-down list of classes in a file which appears at the top of the 
edit window behaves a little oddly.

It seems that the current class is always highlighted in the list, and 
shown exactly over the top of the drop-down control. This can cause some 
inconvenient behaviour when the IDE is maximised in Windows, with lots of 
classes/functions (I have 12 entries in the list). If the current class 
is at the bottom of the list, the top of the list is cut off, requiring 
the mouse to be moved up so that the list scrolls.

I can see one reason for setting focus on the current class, and that is 
if you wanted to find classes around the current class in the code. 
However, as the list that is shown is sorted alphabetically, that's not 
very useful. You immediately lose any careful organisation of 
classes/functions that you've made in the source code.

It would be much more helpful if the list was shown in the order in which 
the classes/functions appeared in the code, and also if it dropped down in 
the same place each time, like a normal drop-down list.
