Lock Scrolling in Node Edit Pane

The lock scrolling in node edit pane function can be activated either from the Lock Edit Window item of the View menu or from the lock node edit pane button in the edit mode tool bar (the button shown in figure 1).

The lock node edit pane function helps the user when the cpt or utility table of a node get too wide to be kept inside the node edit pane. If lock node edit pane is disabled, when you scroll to the right, the left most column showing parent names and state names of the currently selected node will disappear. When lock node edit pane is activated, the left most column is cut of and placed in the left side of the node edit pane - even when the user scrolls the left most columns of the cpt/utility table out of view.
