Working with many events in a short timeframe and overflow #17

How would I work with many events that might correspond to a very short timeframe (say 150 events in a 2 hour window)?

Is there a way to overflow events with a scrollbar or something similar? I've found that most events just disappear until you zoom in, and then I can't tell if I'm seeing everything, since the space taken up by the title of the events seems to mask most other events in the same timeframe.

We're working on a way to scroll overflow; right now, the default system is to create little "+" symbols at the top to indicate missing events. Clicking on these will zoom the timeline in. But since it's possible that a timeline won't be zoomable enough to always handle this, we're going to create a sort of scrolling system.... On the roadmap! I'll leave this issue open just to make sure it continues to dog me...
