Descendancy chart runs out of room and can't be scrolled/zoomed/moved
I realize that I can work around this by going down a couple of generations for my "top" person, but that's an annoying interruption of the process and likely to result in losing track of where I was.
I'm looking for record hints (blue boxes) in the descendancy of one of my spouse's ancestors. I've gotten so many generations in that the boxes are disappearing off the right-hand edge of the screen. There's a point where I can still just barely click one and get the chart to shove over a few millimeters.
But it doesn't help enough: if I expand another generation, all of the indicators disappear, and I have found no way of seeing whether those lower generations even have any hints. I can't scroll over, or zoom out, or pan.
Does anyone know of a way to get the descendancy chart to shove over a bit more? Why isn't there a horizontal scroll bar or a zoom setting or something to allow one to see the whole thing?

I've found success by turning off the portrait option. Then I can expand the generations and the information stays on the screen.

@Amy Archibald, thanks; that's definitely in "why didn't I think of that" territory -- but I figured out why I wasn't in the habit of turning off portraits: it puts the icons so far away from the names that I have a very hard time figuring out who they go with.
Is that hint for Julianna Malvina, Endre, or Edith Emilia? I have to hold something up to the screen to tell.
It's one extreme or the other, it seems. Maybe I should post in Ideas, asking for a horizontal scroll bar (and icons a bit closer to their targets).
