I have an idea for consideration that would IMO improve the diplomacy screens, namely:

Allow the lists of items to be traded (i.e. Technologies, ships, planets) to be expanded (using an expand window button) temporarily.

The issue here is that I often find I want to trade something, but that finding the specific item I want to trade in the list is very annoying to do (particularly if I want to do various trades in succession, where the lists re-set to the top).

This functionality would allow players to click a button, at which point the list of technologies, ships etc. would temporarily (until a minimise button was clicked) expand to fill the entire vertical area of the players side of the screen, to facilitate finding items without extensive scrolling.

Personally, I'd love to see this in the TA expansion (then again, I have no idea how long it would take to code - I'd guess not long since it could re-use code for similar functionality already in other areas of the game, then again, maybe not).

Any thoughts?
