Since Bug Reporter is on strike (again), it might not be a bad idea to post the bug report here as maybe this is an already known bug and I won't have to file it.

---------------------------

Mac OS X 10.4.10 (PowerPC)

Installer.app supports plugins in packages.

Installer.app does not correctly deal with a big number of plugins from a UI point of view

Steps to reproduce:
-----------------

1. Create a standard installation package (no distribution script).

2. Build the template Installer plugin sample from Xcode. Name the project TestPlugin

3. Edit the InstallerSections.plist file so that it looks like this:

<key>SectionOrder</key>
	<array>
		<string>Introduction</string>
		<string>ReadMe</string>
		<string>License</string>
		<string>TestPlugin.bundle</string>
		<string>TestPlugin.bundle</string>
		<string>TestPlugin.bundle</string>
		<string>TestPlugin.bundle</string>
		<string>TestPlugin.bundle</string>
		<string>TestPlugin.bundle</string>
		<string>TestPlugin.bundle</string>
		<string>TestPlugin.bundle</string>
		<string>TestPlugin.bundle</string>
		<string>TestPlugin.bundle</string>
		<string>TestPlugin.bundle</string>
		<string>TestPlugin.bundle</string>
		<string>TestPlugin.bundle</string>
		<string>Target</string>
		<string>PackageSelection</string>
		<string>Install</string>
	</array>

4. Add this plugin to the installation package you created in step 1.

5. Open the package in Installer.app

Observed result:
----------------

User Interface SNAFU. A lot of steps are not available in the list on the left.

If you resize the window vertically, the "Select Destination", "Installation Type", "Install" and "Finish Up" state are still not displayed in the list.

If you run the installation, the steps won't be displayed.

Expected result:
----------------

Something better so that we can:

1. See all the steps in the list on the left when the window is vertically resized.

2. See every step in the list on the left when we run the installation.
