Boostnote: Minimized sidebar has overlapping scroll bar when many folders/storages exist

Created on 8 Dec 2018  路  6Comments  路  Source: BoostIO/Boostnote

Current behavior

This only happens on Windows, as I don't have this problem on my Mac.

When I reduce the sidebar their needs to be more padding or width to adequately show each folder's first letter, especially if there's also a side scroll bar. This happens no matter how wide or full screen the app is.

Expected behavior

It should look like how it does on the mac where there's enough width to so read the first letter of the folder. As it stands right now, minimizing the sidebar makes it unusable.

Steps to reproduce

  1. Windows Boostnote
  2. Click on the little button at the bottom of the sidenav to minimize it

Environment

  • Version : 0.11.11
  • OS Version and name : Windows 10. v1803

Oh! The issue is the scrollbar. We should hide scrollbar when the sidebar is minimized but the users can still scroll using mouse wheel

You could hide it or just give a little extra room, either is ok with me. thanks!

Confirmed as still present in 0.11.17 on Windows 10.

To whoever feels like implementing this improvement we can have either 1) the scrollbar hidden when the sidebar is minimized or 2) make the minimized sidebar wider if we need a scrollbar.

Lately I've also started running into this issue and the solution should definitely be to hide the scroll bar when the sidebar is minimized. My suggestion 2) from earlier would sort of defeat the purpose of having the sidebar minimized.
