minimum width of appearance panel: unnecessary wide
Description
The appearance panel in the Footprint editor seems to contain two values for minimum-width:
- minimum width during work
- minimum width at startup of FP-editor
These minimum-values are:
- not identical
- much bigger than in kicad v6 --> this leads to a unnessary wide appearance panel at startup as well as during work in the footprint editor
Steps to reproduce
- start kicad
- open footprint-editor from kicad-manager
- notice width of appearance-panel: very wide (see picture 3)
- drag appearance panel to the smallest allowed width (see pic 4).
- compare this situation with same situation of kicad v6 (compare pic2 <--> pic4): v7 needs much more screen estate for appearance panel
- close FP-editor
- reopen FP-editor
- now the appearance-panel has again a big width (see pic3), on every FP-editor startup it's necessary to manually shrink the appearance panel to the smallest available width (and even that is wider than v6)
