  JamminUnit: yes, the creepy crawly goes down, creating a list that needs a real scrollbar
• 09:27
  JamminUnit
  I second a-865's request. Would be a helpful enhancement for me.

  JamminUnit: Could you not do this yourself using userChrome.css in your profile?
• 13:20
  WG9s
  I you could do that and document what you did in a bug we could easily make it be the default behavior
• 13:22
  WG9s
  dome of use use the fact it does not scroll as a reminder that perhaps we need to close some of our tabs otherwise we will be filing a bug saing the browser uses too much memory
• 13:23
  WG9s
  that said i really think it is lame that the list of tabs displayed by this indldes the ones visible on the tabbar.
• 13:32
  JamminUnit
  WG9s: I have about 200+ tabs open in seamonkey. I'd never complain about sm being slow because I know that comes from too many open tabs :D
• 13:33
  JamminUnit
  But I've never messed with .css files. Dunno if I can implement this myself.

  hey frg_Away or WG9s have you dropped windows 7 yet?
• 19:26
  frg_Away
  no plans to do so
• 19:26
  WG9s
  I believe not
• 19:26
  CoordinatorTobin
  thanks
• 19:26
  tomman
  no plans to drop XP either :D
• 19:26
  WG9s
  i remeber frg_Away saying was a patch he wanted to take but it broke sin7 so he did not
• 19:27
  tomman
  hell, no plans to drop WinMe too
• 19:27
  frg_Away
  might come to it only when angle or icu starts to kick it out but otherwise I like my 7 and 8.1 and the server variants support.
• 19:27
  tomman
  at least nothing is powered by AI™ on those
• 19:27
  frg_Away
  I rather drop Win 11 :)
• 19:27
  tomman
  I can't drop what I haven't used yet, thankfuly
• 19:28
  WG9s
  XP wind ME are a different issue, might be dropping 32-bit at some point there is no ME 64 bit and xP 64 bit is a piece of shit
• 19:28
  tomman
  hmmm, now I want a VMM64.VXD
• 19:29
  frg_Away
  Dropped XP only because libaries like icu dropped it and compiler support became spotty.
• 19:29
  tomman
  alas, no chance of a Win64s happening, and yes, 64-bit XP was a non-starter
• 19:32
  WG9s
  of course may have been tried in some Point of Sale systems but PoS stands for both Point of Sale and Piece of Shit.
• 19:32
  tomman
  shhh, that's a secret! :D
• 19:33
  frg_Away
  I still have 2 xp64 licenses . Ran it for a few years after switching from OS/2. Great os for ist time. Basically Server 2003 R2 without the server.
• 19:33
  frg_Away
  Thought about doing a compatible 2.49.x x64 then but there is only so much time for this to do during the day.
• 19:37
  WG9s
  tomman: DId I say the quiet part out loud? ;-)
• 19:38
  WG9s
  Am I the only one annoyed by Pint of Sale systems that say sign and then pross ok and the coices are DOne and Cancel
• 19:40
  WG9s
  Of course then there is my Sensi thermostat ap that when I put it on hold and want to take it off hold the question is do you want to cancel the hold and the choices are confirm and cancel.
• 19:40
  WG9s
  don;t those both sound like they will cancel the hold??????? who write this shit

  the aircon thermostat that wants to "Get Connected" is lovely
• 20:34
  CoordinatorTobin
  Personally, I'd start treating so called legacy windows like a seperate OS from Windows 10/11
• 20:34
  CoordinatorTobin
  to the point of making it conditional
• 20:34
  CoordinatorTobin
  but that would not be reasonably sustainable as long as the almighty patchqueue is in play
• 21:04
  frg_Away
  7 and 8.1 are still patchable with "unofficial" fix installers for ESU so I consider them current :)
• 21:04
  frg_Away
  Server 2012 R2 is still good for another 3 years even.
