Description
With language: German in Settings-Menu, the options list on the left needs a scrollbar, ugly ;(

To Reproduce

  1. Set language to German
  2. Open "Einstellungen" from Rubberduck-Menu

Expected behavior
The lists width should fit the options text. We can archive that by shorten the german text (it appears inconsistent to me anyway) or by extending the lists width. As only English and French fit without scrollbar, L would suggest having 10 percent more width and change german text to:

  • Allgemeine Einstellungen
  • Todo Einstellungen
  • Codeuntersuchung Einstellungen
  • Unit Test Einstellungen
  • Einr眉ckung Einstellungen
  • Autocomplete Einstellungen
  • Fenster Einstellungen
  • Referenz Einstellungen

The "correct" solution to this is changing the behaviour of the text layout or the column layout. Adjusting the width only hides the actual problem.

So either:

  1. Add TextWrapping to the list on the left side
  2. Dynamically grow the left column

I'm very much in favor of option 1, if only because we want a defined minimum width for the different settings pages.

TextWrapping would be great,,but what about my feelings on inconsistent naming in German? Any comments on my suggested translation changes? We can discus on Autocomplete not being translated and we should use plurals on first words e.g Referenzen Einstellungen. Besides that it is far more consistent.

Shall I create a feature request on TextWrapping?
