Cannot shrink the sidebar

[dniku]

I expanded the sidebar by dragging its edge to the right, and now I cannot shrink it: every time I drag its edge to the left and release the mouse, it jumps back to where it started. Chrome 44.0.2403.157 (64-bit).

Does the sidebar resize while you drag? Does it jump back immediately when you release the mouse, or after you reload the page?

[dniku]

It does resize while I drag it, and it jumps back immediately as soon as I release the mouse. I've just tested it in Chrome's private mode with all extensions disabled.

What does window.screenX give you in the console?

[Thibaut]

I just deployed a change that may fix the issue.

[dniku]

The problem is still there.

> window.screenX
< 1600

Also, every time I try to resize the sidebar, the console receives:

Application Cache Checking event (index):1
Application Cache NoUpdate event (index):1

If I wipe all data from the site (through Chrome's "green lock" icon in the address bar and repeatedly clicking on "delete"), and I click "uninstall/reset the app", after the page finishes reloading the sidebar may already be back to normal, or I might get the notification that devdocs.io was updated. I click "go to the new version" and the sidebar shrinks back to its normal size, right until I try to resize it again.

The width is fixed at 600px. Unticking the "width" attribute of ._list restores it to 288px, but disables the ._resizer.

I'm also having this problem and I found a workground:
Delete this cookie width=600 and refresh page, sidebar will shrink to default width.

Just refrain from resizing it again, because that will set it back to 600px...

[Thibaut]

Which OS are you using?

[dniku]

Gentoo Linux.

👍 600px Ubuntu 14.04
window.screenX == 1920

I have the same issue on Opera / Windows 10.
Any attemp to resize the sidebar will fail and the sidebar will always grow to a very large width on drop.

[Thibaut]

I just deployed a potential fix. Could one of you try to reproduce again? (reload twice to get the new version)

[nreynis]

Yep, that fixed the issue for me (test done on Opera / Windows 7).
Thanks !
