Window divider between main chat and threads - We cannot adjust

I’ve searched, however I couldn’t find a solution.

With Discourse Chat in full screen, in the past we could adjust the size of the thread window versus the chat channel window by dragging the bar in-between the two.

Now it seems that functionality has been disabled?

Also the thread text seems to go beyond the border. This may be related issue, or a separate issue.

I’m an admin, and a user. I’ve refreshed the browser, cleared cache, and tried it on both Chrome and Firefox. This issue started within the last two days, so it is fairly recent.

I’ve attached a screen share to show what I’m talking about:

Any ideas?

Hey,

It looks like a side-effect of this commit:

It introduced a clamp(350px, 33vw, 33vw) on the panel to specify a min and max (which is a great change!), but it has the effect that since we don’t go out of bounds by default, it enforces the preferred value, 33vw, regardless of the width set dynamically.

I think specifying the limits without using clamp could fix this behavior:

.chat-side-panel {
  min-width: 350px;
  max-width: 33vw;
  width: 33vw;
}

That’s incorrect, this commit didn’t do this. It’s been introduced in UX: update minwidth to chat sidepanel + better title word-break fn (#… · discourse/discourse@cdf8eb8 · GitHub

Anyways I already reverted it few days ago: FIX: lower thread panel min-width (#30158) · discourse/discourse@b0be89c · GitHub
