 * Project Title: Horizontal scrollbar for tables and math
 * Organization: LyX – The Document Processor

Project Summary
Brief Explanation: LyX provides users with an excellent UI for creating and editing LaTeX tables and math. One drawback of the current implementation is that when a table or math equation is too wide so as not to fit on the screen, the right-hand edge will "disappear" outside the screen limits. This makes editing wider tables and equations more difficult, and sometimes requires users to decrease the font size in LyX to be able to see the full table/equation on the screen.

Expected Results: An improved editor UI in which a horizontal scrollbar appears whenever the user is editing a table or math equation that is wider than the computer screen.

Knowledge Prerequisite: Knowledge of C++ is required, and while experience with Qt is nice it is by no means required, as it can be learned relatively easily.
