there appears to be no way to scroll right to read the rest of the

No: it seems that the need for horizontal scrollbars on treeview windows was
overlooked when I updated the RISC OS frontend to work with the core
treeview.
I'll try to fix it properly, but given that (due to the unique way that the
RISC OS Wimp seems to work) it looks as if it's going to require some
non-trivial changes to the whole treeview window resizing and extent code,
the short-term solution might just be to permanently add a horizontal
scrollbar to the certificate pane. That works, and doesn't risk breaking a
lot of other stuff by accident.
may i suggest that it were a Good Thing to eschew this style of
utterly
annoyingly painful panes [...]
You may, but since they're OK by my reading of the Style Guide and IMHO
they're the best compromise when displaying this kind of thing in a dialogue
box (which the SSL Certificate dialogue is), I can't see it changing any
time soon (unless the RO frontend gets some more developers, I suppose, in
which case one of them might decide to do something :-).
