However, the Repository pages don't respect fixed layout. Most pages in GitLab respect fixed layout with the exception of: * Issue Boards * Merge request \> Changes tab * All repository pages * Probably some other pages For the basic file/directory pages, a container width of 1200px is still pretty usable. <table> <tr> <th>Fixed layout in GitLab (extra wide)</th> <th>Repository page (extra wide)</th> <th>Repository page (1200px container)</th> </tr> <tr> <td> {width=900 height=364} </td> <td> {width="900" height="364"} The Repository pages are information dense, but not so information dense that they need 100% of the width to be usable. </td> <td> {width="900" height="375"} 1200px container is still a reasonable width for the Repository pages </td> </tr> </table> # Discussion Is there any reason why we shouldn't support the Fixed layout for Repository pages?
