When I opened a Windows Store project in Blend, the Device tab was not scrollable. In order to see all fields in it, I was forced to resize it. Is this going to be fixed in the next update (or is there already a fix that I just didn't get yet?)? I would not be surprised if I forgot about one of the fields when there is not a scrollbar to let me know that there are more fields. Thanks.

Bug

Create a Windows Store project, open it in Blend, open MainPage.xaml, select the Device tab, and resize the height of the Device tab so that not all items are visible. There is no scrollbar.

It was possible to see some things truncated in the vertical direction, but they were inaccessible until I explicitly resized the panel. Until the panel is resized, not all the properties can be edited.

Thanks for your feedback!

We did not plan to add a ScrollBar to the Device panel (but are making changes to things like categorization, etc. in there). I was curious to know if you saw things truncated out of the box, or you had to explicitly resize the Device panel to get into this state.

We will also keep this feedback in mind, and address it if there is significant feedback - please don't hestiate to vote it up!

Thanks!
