how to manage long edit forms [#1146912]

I love this module, but I wind up with large areas for editing. Sometimes I want a list returning mutliple records, but a user can still only edit one record at a time.
Is there any way to show only the first row of each record, and then on hover/active (or some button or arrow) expand to show the rest of that record? Like when you are changing various settings for views, you can click on a box that says "rewrite the value of this field" and then it expands and you get more choices?
I have been playing with css but still have not found the right combination of row height and hidden fields or rows.
Maybe this is more of a feature request if that feature could be added, or maybe there is a css solution?

I used an Accordion view display (Views Accordion module with accordion display selected, just a single field or a rewritten field used as the first line) with an editview attached.
You need Views Field View and it takes a little patience, but it works!
Also we are preparing a patch that will display editview fields vertically instead of a long table. That is what I am using on my site and it is great!
