Fixed, see 4cc9cdc5f33c6d74c85498d29b7cdb6b0d265700

Fixed, see 1f72e5e3c3e3fad4b0d0b02558dafaa818085682

I don't see any reason to include those. If you want this behavior, disable
JavaScript and reload the report. I think it's inferior to the modal dialogs.

Correct, I highlight rules that need attention. All other rules have plain
color. I don't want to make the report even more colorful than it is :-)
Sorry but I do not have time to do this, patches are welcome of course.

I made the check-system-details div scroll when overflowing, see

Done the same for remediation fixes in cd68636eb9dde7a5d00dc8b5830d95015cc8d667

See 75f5f4f316a7d3cab582e5c9a09f8f89f103e24e
It now says "Items violating {OVAL test}:" because that's exactly what we are
showing there.

Looking forward to that.
