Description David-john Burrowes 2003-07-29 19:08:43 UTC 
When it was originally designed, the tree table
view was given a contextual menu item called "List
options" which displayed options for changing how
information was shown in the table (which, to the
end user, should be thought of as a list of
objects.. hence the name "List").
However, in the debugger at least, the "list" is
basically the same as the whole view, and so it is
probably more reasonable to name this menu item
"View Options" (or the equivalent name in the new
windowing system).  I'm not sure, however, where
this component is used throughout the IDE, and
whether this name is appropriate to all contexts.
