Description:
Model overview tab:
SQL script names that take more than one line of text are cut off at the bottom. The second+ lines are unreadable. There is a scrollbar that appears on the right to scroll down and view the rest of the SQL script names, but this is always scrolled up by default (names are cut off) AND it auto-scrolls back up when any of the scripts is selected (clicked on). So it's very frustrating to use when script filenames contain useful information like version numbers or their purpose etc.

When you have a single SQL script, this is not a problem. But: Example situation:
In a situation where a database changes are being made, we use for example 7 scripts. They need to be opened and closed 40-50 times during a few hour time period of modification and testing. Each time a scroll bar must be clicked + clicked again if a script is selected by mouse click. So in this example situation it's between 40 and 100 unnecessary clicks + lost time + frustration. Very inconvenient.

How to repeat:
Create an SQL Script with long file names in Model overview > SQL Scripts

Suggested fix:
Expected behavior would be to auto-expand height of the SQL Scripts block. At least to a single row of scripts, including the highest script height INCLUDING actual script name height. This will ensure that the script names are always fully readable, and has NO negative side effects, like loosing Model Notes section below the screen area because there are too many SQL Scripts. Prevents frustration + decreases the amount of clicks + improves efficiency by saving time.

Hello Slava Dev,

Thank you for the report.
Observed this behavior on Win7 with WB 6.2.4.
Workaround - Tool tip(file name appears when a cursor is positioned over SQL script icon).

Thanks,
Umesh
