Panel actions are cropped when window is narrow

[Tyriar]

Do you mean the actions on the panel?

[sandy081]

Yes

@sandy081 Can not repro.
How did you get in that state?
Was the editor croped as well, or only the terminal? Were the other panels cropped as well?

[Tyriar]

@isidorn the actions at the top of the panel (new terminal, kill terminal). Just make the window narrow.

@Tyriar thanks for clarifying.
What would you expect @sandy081 to happen in this case.

I believe the elements are getting hidden in the correct order.

[Tyriar]

We need some way of accessing the elements in the overflow, the tasks panel is making this a bigger problem than it was before.

[isidorn]

@Tyriar can you please elaborate on that?

[Tyriar]

We should strive to be usable at very narrow widths, a triple dot menu is probably the solution, just like to the right of the tab well.

Trying to use 2 instances side by side isn't too bad except for with the panel:

The Tasks button exacerbated the problem as it hides actions when the window is wider.

[isidorn]

I like the triple dot idea, I can look into it in the next couple of milestones

@isidorn @Tyriar Ideally the panel overflow behaviour is the same as the activity bar when the window gets small. As you can see below, the UI is very similar, there are entries for each viewlet and there are actions (the gear icon):

I suggest to:

• keep the panel actions visible at all times
• start to show a "..." for the actual panels similar to how we do it for viewlets
• when you click "..." you can pick another panel

I can suggest an overflow menu that appear under a determinate window width.
