Bug 176635 – Web Inspector: make split console full width of view

• Status: RESOLVED
• Resolution: FIXED
• Component: Web Inspector

[Devin Rousso]

Instead of limiting the split console's width to just the main content area (non-sidebar space), we should consider widening it to cover the entire width.  This way, if both sidebars are visible, the console is not as "squished".

What does it look like when collapsed?

I can't help but notice you chose the tab that has a single sidebar showing. This looks a little weird but it doesn't look too bad. It certainly breaks some of the aesthetics.

Our current filter bar placement probably prevents us from making this change as is. I like the full width console, but would have to give more thought to how to resolve the aesthetic issues.

Do you mean the FilterBar in the NavigationSidebar, or the FilterBar present in the Console tab?  I'm assuming the former since the Console's FilterBar isn't visible in the split console currently.

How does this prevent the change?  I think the visual distinction (especially when the SplitConsole is collapsed) is quite clear.  There is a huge benefit of having a full width console, especially in a tab like Debugger where both Sidebar are very useful (Breakpoints and Scope Chain).

Interesting. The white background on the filter bar in the styles sidebar should be grey to match the sidebar background color now that it does not line up with the console input bar.

This broke the class list container. Should be an easy fix.
