Even if it we= re possible, what would you expect to happen when actions
1-5 were checked off? Should the list show the next 5? How would you
expand the list to see all of it? When would it be visible or not?

=E2=80=8BI did not expect a simple answer. ;-= )=E2=80=8B
=C2=A0
=E2=80=8BJust something to get started.= =E2=80=8B In principle I think you should normally not see more as five act= ion entries and should (normally) not have the possibility to select new en= tries to show when there are still more as three entries shown.

I have my own function that checks an entry and put it at th= e end of the list.

I personally would want to hav= e to select the new to show entries. Most of the time that would be the nex= t entries, but not always.

It sounds like this would be a good case for subheadings, to break up
the long check list.

=E2=80=8BThen I = get something like:
=C2=A0=C2=A0=C2=A0 * Actions [0/5]
=C2=A0=C2=A0= =C2=A0=C2=A0=C2=A0 - [ ] First action
=C2=A0=C2=A0=C2=A0=C2=A0=C2=A0 - [= ] Second action
=C2=A0=C2=A0=C2=A0=C2=A0=C2=A0 - [ ] Third action
= =C2=A0=C2=A0=C2=A0=C2=A0=C2=A0 - [ ] Fourth action
=C2=A0=C2=A0=C2=A0=C2= =A0=C2=A0 - [ ] Fifth Action
=C2=A0=C2=A0=C2=A0=C2=A0=C2=A0 - Next actio= ns [0/25]
=C2=A0=C2=A0=C2=A0=C2=A0=C2=A0=C2=A0=C2=A0 - [ ] Sixth action<= br>=C2=A0=C2=A0=C2=A0=C2=A0=C2=A0=C2=A0=C2=A0=C2=A0=C2=A0 .
=C2=A0=C2=A0= =C2=A0=C2=A0=C2=A0=C2=A0=C2=A0=C2=A0=C2=A0 .
=C2=A0=C2=A0=C2=A0=C2=A0=C2= =A0=C2=A0=C2=A0=C2=A0=C2=A0 .
=C2=A0=C2=A0=C2=A0=C2=A0=C2=A0=C2=A0=C2=A0= - [ ] Thirtieth action

So I do not see the total= amount of actions. (At least not when actions is in overview mode.) Or can= that be solved?=E2=80=8B
