Too many category to display on my screen

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Problem:

When I add a new button, it is no longer possible for me to choose all the 
categories because some of them are displayed of the screen. The attached 
screen capture will explain it better. At the top of the third row, you 
can see the custom category MyQuests but my other customs (MyBuff, 
MyBuffFood and MyMountsAndPets) are lost somewhere off screen at the 
bottom of the second row. I'm assuming that other predefined categories 
are missing as well.

My screen resolution is set to 1680 x 1050. I also use a general 0.9 scale.

Thanks in advance for you help.

There is no good solution for this yet.  You can change columns to 4 in 
AutoBarOptions.lua:
                    categories = {
                        type = 'text',
                        name = L["Category"],
                        desc = L["Category"],
                        get = getButtonCategory,
                        set = setButtonCategory,
                        columns = 3,
                        validate = AutoBar.categoryValidateList,
                        passValue = passValue,
                    },
I do not think I can change it for everyone because the 4th column is off 
screen for 
some people.

I need to upgrade the UI to Ace3 or Rock to really solve it.

Thanks for workaround, it solved my issue. May I suggest that you make the 
number of 
category columns an option?

This problem is still occurring. Perhaps you could consider adding an option to
delete some of the ones you have built into the addon, or even customizing them
instead of adding our own unless it's absolutely necessary? The only reason 
that I'm
created custom categories is because I dislike the order of the buttons and 
want them
to be switched, which you can do easily with custom categories.

Or is there a way to do a cascading style menu?  For example, have Food as a 
category and then when you click on it you see all the Food: categories.  Same 
with 
Buff categories.  This would make the list a lot shorter.

• Changed title: Too many category to display on my screen
• Added labels: Priority-High
• Removed labels: Priority-Medium

To go along with this commentary as I cannot seem to find anywhere to discuss 
the mod
with other users...When I make a custom category then add a custom button to 
include
this custom category and then get the list categories to choose from when 
adding the
button, IU never see my newly created category. Now, I definitely see the same 
type
of screen shown in the attached image above, but i am concerned that my 
category is
not selectable.

Perhaps if you lead me to a good place to discuss this with other users, maybe 
WoWI
or WoWAce?

The rewrite to Ace3 Config makes this a scrollable list avoiding the issues.

beta on wowace.com
