Add scroll bar to logistic network

When hovering over a logistic network entity such as a passive provider chest, there is a window that pops up on the right side showing all the logistic network contents. The problem is, in many landscape (horizontal) monitor modes it doesn't show the whole thing if there are too many items. Here's a cropped screenshot showing what I mean:

Here is the entirety of my logistic network contents, which I had to switch my monitor into portrait (vertical) mode to fully see:

The simplest way I can think of to show all that is to add a scroll bar. Alternately, some other UI might be desirable. Either way, it would be nice to see all of my logistic network contents under reasonable resolutions without having to turn my monitor vertically, or some other sort of thing.

There is a thread about it in Bug Reports ‹ Known issues
[0.9.1] Cannot view all logistic system storage items

And it is a frequently suggested idea:

There also is a mod that gives a very nice overview of the logistic network (including a search function):

How would you scroll such scrollbar without taking your mouse off the entity you're hovering over?

Alt + Mouse scroll wheel. Or control, or shift. Whatever works.

But some other sort of UI would probably work better.

Daniel, thank you for providing links. I suppose I should have done a general search for "logistic suggestion" instead of looking for the exact idea of a scroll bar.

Not similar. The linked subject is about long lists of items in the crafting manager. This is about long lists of items for logistic/circuits.

For logistic you have the logistic stats (L).

what keeps and makes me crazy is the missing view for the circuits.

As said: It offers completely different solutions.
