Hey Peter,

By default, galaxy attempts to ship 50kb chunks of tabular data. It's a good idea to probably support a minimum number of 'lines' to ship as well, for text-based data -- I'll add a Trello card for this and will plan to work on it soon.

That, and there should be an indicator along the lines of "your entire dataset has not loaded yet, click here or scroll to load more".

Hello all,

Large tabular data files in Galaxy are shown with "auto loading",
meaning more data is loaded as you scroll down the page.

(As an aside, this can cause confusion, e.g. using CTRL+F to
search in the web browser would miss not-yet-loaded content.)

I've noticed with many BLAST tabular files with 25 columns
(often quite wide with sequences in columns 21 and 22) that
Galaxy does not load enough to fill the page. e.g. Only 14
rows are shown. I order to get the rest to load (on Firefox
or Safari at least), I must scroll *right* to trigger more to
load.

This is a problem as at first glance the interface implies
that the fill dataset is loaded - there is no vertical scroll
bar or other visual indicator :(

Have I explained this clearly enough? Would some images
help?

Thanks,

Peter
