Shows state names cut-off in Inteface Viewer plugin's state display box 

The box that shows the states is too narrow.  It requires left/right scrolling to see the full names of some states (see attachment).  It should be wider.

Patch to interface_view.ui to allow wider display of states.

Patch that allows state display box to expand horizontally and affords a wider view of the state names in the Interface Viewer panel.  A screen shot of the wider view is shown in attachment 249630 [details].

I'm using a nightly from 5 July 2013.

I just checked the older bug -- thanks for the link.  I am using that version, but I still find that width too small.

Fair enough. Thanks.

Another version where states and object attributes displays are side-by-side.

I have found that arranging the display of states and object attributes side-by-side, and well as placing the relationships display below both is better.

Note that I used glade to make the changes, and in, saving, glade upgraded the GTK requirement to "interface-requires gtk+ 3.0".  Formerly, it said gtk+ 2.16.  Is this a problem?

Screen shot showing the new arrangement to follow.

Hey Joseph,

thanks for this patch, the interface view looks much better now.
I've already already it pushed to master [1]

Cheers!
