Editor Console Window works poorly with many filters #38

The console window is currently fitting all filter buttons into a fixed-size region. This works poorly when using 10+ filters; the text on individual filter buttons gets cropped.

Suggestions to solve this:

  1. Compute a minimum width per filter. This should be based on the length of the text within. Change the fitting algorithm to never size a button smaller than its computed minimum width. (Enlarging is OK.)
  2. Handle overflow... Two common solutions:
    a. Allow scrolling the set of buttons. Have scroll left/right buttons at the edges of the region. Jump either one button or a fixed number of pixels at each click on the scroll buttons.
    b. Expand region to multiple rows as necessary to fit all buttons onto the screen at once.

Also, perhaps sort the buttons in alphabetical order? Makes it easier to find the one you're looking for.
