PyChess side menu can be completely hidden

[axet]

Hello!

Playing PyChess vs Computer allow you to see side panel with moves history, and score. It is easy to hide this panel moving slider to the right (or left) and hide it completely. Here is hard to restore this panel when it is zero size.

Better to set minimum size for booth board and side panel to prevent it get 100% hidden.

(it hide it self, not sure how is that happened. so it took time before I figure it it out where my panel is)

pychess-1.0.3

EDIT: side panel got hidden again somehow, I have to snipe the slider to get it back.

Panel 100% Hidden. It is hard to click on this scroll bar but 'View / Scores' enabled. It is hard to click to restore the panel.

Yea, this is a long standing issue I hate as well :)

Btw I was never able to come up with any good solution to fix this in the past, so any help is appreciated!

Its called minimum panel size. Not sure if GTK has it... Or I recall it from java awt/swt...

The thing is pychess has its own panel dock system implementation (created by the original author Thomas Ahle) in https://github.com/pychess/pychess/tree/master/lib/pychess/widgets/pydock
Idk GTK has anything similar.
