I _can_ probably scroll the screen, but as far as usability goes, I 
shouldn't have to. But it's a minor issue of course.

Whether I like it or not is not really the issue here, whether it's 
practical or not on the other hand... It's just not practical to scroll 
sideways.

Out of curiosity, what kind of lenghts you developer guys would have to 
go to have a per user config for some of the edit all elements and 
possibly for some of the search result elements? The addition of "Use in 
Rel" link to the search result leaves less room for, in my opinion, more 
important/vital elements, such as release name.

I guess what I'm asking is that how flexible the current code is? Would 
you need to rewrite the whole damn thing to add support for optional 
elements?
