Enhancement: source selectors should stay visible in merge pane
Problem: I have narrowed the space for the merge pane because of screen size constraints. Now, I want to merge two records, for example, one with a long DOI and one without any. After I select the long DOI as desired content for the DOI field, the merge pane re-formats to include a vertical scroll bar and the selector buttons for the source of the attribute get scrolled off-screen to the right and become invisible.
I think this case could be handled more intelligently by automatically moving the vertical scroll bar right to a position where the selector buttons stay visible.
The problem only occurs with field attributes not containing any spaces because these won't be word-wrapped.

It looks as if different fields behave differently if the content execeeds the screen space available.
