You're right about lots of roles pushing it out. I think highlighting
would be a nice/simple improvement for D6. Thanks.<br>

Until someone comes up with a brilliant replacement UI, I think that's
it.

Are there any similar models from other systems that we could copy? I<br>
don't know of any good ones off the top of my head.</blockquote>

There is also the issue of when you have more than 5 or so roles, and
the list <br>
goes to the right beyond the screen.<br>
<br>
Some alternatives were proposed some time back.<br>
<br>
One of them (was it by Konstantin K?) was to use css to highlight the
column titles <br>
(role names) on the line that has the cursor on it.
<br>
<br>
Another was to have collapsible.<br>
<br>
It is a tough usability one to tackle, specially scaling well for many
roles and<br>
many modules and many permissions per module. <br>
