NC13b3 regression: big vertical spaces in left column

[nursoda]

Steps to reproduce

1. Upgrade to Nextcloud 13 (b3 in my case)
2. Open Contacts app
3. Group chooser / Left column is no longer neatly formatted

Expected behaviour

Should look nicely, as it did in NC 12.

Actual behaviour

Large vertical spaces between lines:

Might this (and other issues I encounter) be caused by an over-protective cross-site policy? Reason is the browser JS and the web server error log entries above, possibly caused by not honoring "Alternative DNS names" within the webserver TLS certificate?

[nursoda]

Similar issue in calendar, too: nextcloud/calendar#666

[skjnldsv]

Thanks!
@nursoda can you try with latest nightlies? :)

[nursoda]

Sure, but how? Please step by step, like Download ZIP from github master branch, copy to server, unpack, chmod -R 640?

[skjnldsv]

Download zip from https://nightly.portknox.net/contacts/?C=M;O=D
Extract content with your http user
should be fine then

[nursoda]

No, definitely not. What I get is worse:

The red dot is where my cursor is, and the bar on the left changes with the cursor position - and seems to have the right height, yet white on white ;-)

... and it seems most contact pics are not loaded or WAY slower that with 2.0.1

[onny]

For me this issue also persists with the latest Nextcloud Beta and contacts app git master

[skjnldsv]

Fixed with #438

[onny]

I tried the current git master and this issue is still present for me

@ Nextcloud 13 Beta 3
Also note the avatar icons are missplaced

[onny]

In Chromium, the stylesheet looks better but the contact list is still way too small :(

[nursoda]

If you redesign the left pane, please consider sorting it, too.
As seen in last Screenshot, its unsortet, order there: F O W S U F K.

[onny]

Styling issue is still present with the latest release of contacts, version 2.1

[nursoda]

Not here: 2.1 solved it for me:

However, the sorting issue remains.

[skjnldsv]

@nursoda This happens on wide screens.

[nursoda]

Hmmm, I have a screen resolution of 2440px wide and it does not happen here. In Firefox release, current. No matter how I resize the FX window.

[Henni]

@nursoda sorting is currently by amount of contacts in a group. I think we had a discussion about this before, but can't remember where.

@onny can you please make sure this isn't a caching issue?

[skjnldsv]

I can reproduce @Henni This is a server side issue, but this is created by the column system we're using here (which push the flex to the maximum)
This will require a small fix from our side and then a fix for the server :)

[onny]

@Henni: Thanks for asking. Indeed it seems to be a caching issue. It is working better now in Firefox. One thing is still present, the avatars in the contact list are not correctly vertical aliged as seen in this old screenshot here (#453 (comment)). But this only affects Firefox.

[Henni]

@skjnldsv then please let us get rid of the column system.

@onny strange... the vertical misalignment flickers for me on firefox. Can you open a new issue for this?

[onny]

Yep I can do this

//edit
Done: #478

[nursoda]

@Henni Sorting is off-topic here, but to answer: I don't recall a discussion, wasn't aware of "sort by no of contacts in group" which I realize now. One should be able to set how to sort. For many groups/categories, this is odd.

[rollanders]

It seems almost all discussion is about the left column too wide and sorting. Most important problem is the "middle" contacts list too narrow. And details part of the window gets almost all space. This makes the contacts app almost unusable.

[skjnldsv]

It's being fixed in #481
