qt: is scrolling text necessary?
Scrolling text needs to use clipping, and has to render every glyph possible in order to work. Text rendering is not cheap.
We use text elision and show tool tip when the text is cut off. So, I ask, is scrolling necessary? I don't see any benefit of such feature. It is not feasible to wait to see some part of the text if, for some reason, tool tip is not available and is rather annoying.
What are your opinions?
