Description (last modified by Francesco Casella)

When you run a simulation in OMEdit, the way the variable browser window is shown on my PC running Windows 10 on a 1366x768 pixel screen is such that the Description column is not visible. What I noticed consistently with all my students using OMEdit is that they were not aware at all of the fact that a textual description of the variables is actually available (provided of course that the variables are properly commented in the source code).

It is true that a scroll bar is present at the bottom of the window, but hardly anybody notices it, nor tries to actually use it, if he/she is not aware of the fact there there is more interesting stuff to see which lies out of the current view port.

I would suggest to change the default setup of the Plotting view so that the "Description" column head shows up. Then, if one is interested, he/she can further change the setup to actually read those comments.
