Bug 129627 – Web Inspector: probe sidebar should use overflow:scroll and split space evenly

• Component: Web Inspector
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Blaze Burg]

Currently, one probe that receives a lot more data will flood out the others making them hard to see.

sidebar split between two probe sections

What is up with the scrollbars?

In the old branch I made them skinnier for the replay drawer's sidebar to save a little space, and apparently copied that idea into the probe sidebar. It can be safely removed.

Yes, lets revert the scrollbar change. People still use the scrollbar to drag with the mouse, and this size is non-standard.

Also revert the whitespace changes in the ChangeLog.

Some tweaks and questions remain before this should land. But looking good!

> Source/WebInspectorUI/UserInterface/Views/ProbeDetailsSidebarPanel.css:79
> +    min-height: 250px;

What happens if this min-height is triggered? Will that cause double scrollbars? That would be bad.

> Source/WebInspectorUI/UserInterface/Views/ProbeSetDataGrid.css:39
> +.details-section.probe-set .data-grid .data-container {
> +    top: 23px;
> +}

This is a layering violation. details-section is not related and at a higher level than this data grid. This rule should be in ProbeDetailsSidebarPanel.css.

The min-height did trigger the double scroll bar, so I removed it and moved the CSS rule.
