Hi,
I try to familiarize myself with Gerrit which is not a good example for user-friendly interface. I noticed a letter B in the upper right corner of the screen, and I suspected it could be a portion of my login name. So I looked at it in HTML source, and it was. I pushed my mouse on it and I got another half window as attached.
So did somebody perhaps wire the size of a 25" monitor into page rendering? My computer is a Samsung notebook.
In T38471 I complained that the old version was too wide at 1163px (for my dashboard on a random day). Now the new version is 1520px. I'm not sure if the Gerrit folks are serious or are trolling us. Perhaps it is a tactic to encourage UI code contributions?
Sadly I don't think that's the case as the upstream has moved on to building yet another UI layer to replace the one that we are currently using [0].
I hacked the heck out of the CSS to make things fit in my ~1024px preferred browser width [1]. There is a greasemonkey script that will apply this css [2]. Perhaps some other folks could test this css out and see if I would be a useful change to add to the stylesheet overrides already in use by the WMF's deployment.
