Slider on tagging/extraction panel getting stuck at full page#507

E

Every so often, I’ll open a study out of study inspector and the panel interface is filling the whole area and it takes several tries for it to be dragged back to the side so I can see the pdf area. It doesn’t seem to matter what size my window is, and closing and reopening the study, opening a different study, or refreshing the page don’t have an effect. It’s happend in multiple nests. I have tried reproducing it in different browsers, I’ve been using Chrome. I’m always eventually able to drag it back to its normal size, so it’s not really affecting my ability to get things done, it’s just kind of annoying (though I love the ability to resize the panel how I want it!)

Thanks!

Appreciate the report- we relatively recently reworked our layout system, which is unsurprisingly complex given how much information you guys gather and we need to fit on the screen! :p While we but quite a bit of thought into how it should work, it’s possible there’s gaps or unintended consequences.

Do you often use NK on a less than full-width browser? And, do you often resize the browser width? An example of a way this could be happening:

  • You’re viewing NK on a full width screen, say 1500px wide
  • You resize the module bar to something very legible, 750px wide
    • Our system will remember that you want the module bar to be 750px wide
  • After a while, you resize your browser window to something less wide, 1000px
  • When you return to inspector, our system will see that you used to have a module bar of 750px, but you only currently have 1000px.
  • 1000-750 = 250px is not enough space to properly show study data (Abstract or Full Text). Instead of trying to cram it into 250px, our layout system opts to not display study data, and instead gives the module bar full width.

Attached is a series of screen shots kind of illustrating this process.

Hi Karl,

I do have NK at less than full width fairly frequently, although not small enough that it switches to the mobile view mode. I think the issue has happened when I haven’t recently resized the window or had the module bar set very wide, but I’ll have to pay more attention in the future! I think the main annoyance comes when it’s difficult to resize the module bar when it’s filling the screen and it seems stuck and not responding to dragging on the arrows. I’ll pay more attention to the screen resizing context and let you know if I ever run into a circumstance where that doesn’t seem to explain it! Thanks!
