[Bug] can't see anything on long traces :(

Description

traces seem to wrap around rather than being zoomable, and when you have long traces it goes like this :(

Yikes. The issue is that the minimap (raster plot of entire trace) adds a lot of rows to the minimap traces with long data. As this happens, the code doesn't make the overall card, that shows both the minimap and zoomed in window, taller to fit in the extra rows. This pushes the zoomed in window area outside of the card itself.

Should be fixed now. I also fix another small bug that would always stretch the last minimap row across the entire card width. This should only happen when the minimap is 1 row tall.

definitely better. different problem, but still better

I'll take this as a win... Surprised we don't crash from loading 64 cells that each have 16+ hours of data at 30Hz.

Ya it definitely rules in some ways how the modern browser is basically an operating system.

Not a huge deal, but just seems odd to leave unhandled since we do want to work with days long data. Since the minimap is just supposed to be a coarse scrubber while the main panel is the fine grained view with zoom and drag, seems like it could just always be one row. You cant see the trace at all in the minimap when its that long, but thats also true when its in rows, and it stops being useful as a scrubber when there are more than a few rows. Zooming and dragging in the main panel serves the purpose of being able to give you birds eye view at different scales, leaving minimap to just be coarse scrub.

Yep, you are definitely right. I am going to allow for CaTune to adjust the length in time of a single minimap row along with setting a max number of minimap rows. Then I can have it dynamically adjust this length so we never go over the max rows. I'll also do this so, when we have multi-row minimaps, they always fill the entire row.
