Default ReaScript IDE: script name in error message necessary?

As script names can sometimes be rather long, if the name wouldn't be displayed in the error message we wouldn't need to enlarge horizontally the IDE / column divider so much to actually be able to read the complete message.



Script name is already displayed in first line in red in IDE, window title bar / docker tab, so it seems a bit redundant to me to also display in the error message.

When a script with multiple files (or using my GUI) goes down and the error message lists the file that crashed, you'll probably appreciate it more. :P I guess they could add a if filenameInMessage == currentFile then trim the message though.

That said, the IDE does suffer from long text disappearing in a few places. One of the many, many reasons I don't use it.

It should be scrollable.
As well as the first line, when it shows a description of what a function does. It's almost always cut at the really interesting point, so I need to reopen the api-docs time and again.

Yeah if the filename matches the current file, it should ideally just say "Line x: (error)"... IMO.
