It would be nice if objects in stat panels (say, an inventory) would form multiple columns, like verbs do, instead of all piling below each other. Its kind of annoying to only be able to see a couple at a time and then have a lot of empty space to the left... its just begging to be used.

Good point. This is another kind of annoying problem, though, because theoretically the entire panel could be used with the cludgey "suffix" property.

We have discussed a much better statpanel system that supports complete user control over the gridding and colors, but right now we're up to our heads in stuff (despite our ill-fated non-coding pact), so it won't be there anytime too soon. Until then, you may just have to bear with the current system.

A new interface enhancement is just around the corner though-- it may alleviate this concern. I'll post on that in a minute.
