Bug ID: 462852
Summary: Vertical Toolbars need to be dragged in a confusing
way to undock
Classification: Applications
Product: krita
Version: nightly build (please specify the git hash!)
Platform: Other
OS: All
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: Dockers
Assignee: krita-bugs-n...@kde.org
Reporter: tyson...@tysontan.com
Target Milestone: ---
When Krita's Toolbars are in vertical mode (docked to either the left or right
side of Krita's window), I must drag the handle until the cursor is outside the
toolbar's perimeter to trigger the undocking.
This can be confusing on small, Hi-DPI displays. You see, Krita's "Brush and
Stuff" toolbar, at its default arrangement, is VERY wide on this kind of
screens, it can cause some unfortunate synergies.
Take Samsung Galaxy Tab S8 for example -- this device has an 11-inch screen
with a resolution of 2560x1600. As a result of Hi-DPI adaptation, the "Brush
and Stuff" toolbar takes up about 1/3 of the screen's width when docked to the
left side of Krita's window. I was trying to drag the toolbar towards the right
to undock it, but my initial attempts failed -- naturally, I only dragged the
handle right-ward for the distance of an icon's width.
I think dragging the distance of 1/3 of the screen to undock a toolbar is
unreasonable (Even on a more favorable screen like Cintiq Pro 24, the
experience was not good). Although now, I know I can drag upward to undock it
easily, but at the time, I didn't want to dock it under the menu bar, so I
avoided dragging upward. It took me quite a wild goose chase before I figured
out what was happening, and I tend to think I wasn't alone with this exact
situation.
Tested with:
Samsung Galaxy Tab S8 with One UI 5.0 (Android 13)
Krita 5.1.2 and Krita Next (2022-12-10)
