Invisible scrollbar presents usability issue
Steps to reproduce:
- Set macOS preferences > general > show scroll bars > "when scrolling" (system default)
- Using Chrome in macOS
- Navigate to about.gitlab.com
- In the footer, click on "open in Web IDE"
Observed:
- The left pane's scrollbar is missing.
Expected:
- Visible scrollbar for people who aren't power-users.
Suggested fix:
- Switch
.ide-tree-bodyfromoverflow: autotooverflow: scrolland then apply some extra css : https://davidwalsh.name/osx-overflow
Other notes:
- While it can be good to use system defaults, this might at times present usability issues.
- There isn't a known css-based fix for firefox. There are JS alternatives.
Issue source:
I was on a zoom call earlier explaining how to use the Web IDE's left pane.. The user could not see a scrollbar and so couldn't figure out how to open other files. I finally found a workaround using the arrow keys to scroll.
Per a slack conversation, pinging @mvanremmerden.
