Pylint widget lacks horizontal scroll bar, cutting off long issue descriptions

Spyder Version: 2.2.0beta4
Python Version: 2.7.3
Qt Version: 4.8.1, PyQt4 (API v2) 4.9.1 on Linux

What steps will reproduce the problem?

1. Open some file and run Pylint
2. Run the analysis again
3. Now, the line "Global evaluation..." is very long

What is the expected output? What do you see instead? I would like additional texts (such as "Global evaluation", "previous run" and date) to collapse. I'm not sure what is the Qt terminology, I want the text to hide to enable widget to be smaller.

Please provide any additional information below

. I'm not interested in the date. So, from my personal point of view the date could be removed.

Once it would be possible to make the Pylint widget smaller, I will encounter, more often than before, the problem with to wide content of the tree. There is no horizontal scrollbar, only the ellipses appear.

I've tried to investigate the right behavior in other widgets such as Outline and File browser but to be honest, I was confused from when ellipses appear and when horizontal scrollbar is shown.

The similar issue is #639.

We'll take a look at it after 2.2 is released.

Minor metadata change: this is an enhancement request, not a bug report.

@ccordoba12 Can confirm this still exists as of Spyder 3.2.8; the Pylint widget lacks a horizontal scrollbar like the Profiler, which certainly has been an annoyance for me on occasion (for an example, profile the Spyder mainwindow.py file; a lot of the issues are cut off). How hard would this be to fix, considering this was already implemented in the Profiler?

[ccordoba12]

I think it's a matter of adding the right widget to Pylint. It shouldn't be hard.

Thanks; I'll give it a shot.

Closing because this was fixed in PR #16711.
