there is too much

Could they be made to scroll if they are longer than one line?

nope - that would actually be awful.

the only person arguing about the statuses is YOU - noone else seems to care how big or small they are. Plus, as you've repeatedly said, it's a "suggestion" - I think everyone here has noted it, but noone seems to want to follow it. Therefore, let it go.
