Bug 1362048

Aleš, can you please check it with Greasemonkey and Stylish disabled, to see if it looks the same?

The amount of horizontal space between the logs and the comment icons seems larger than it should be. (There is some horizontal space after the comment icon but that is where the score is shown.)

BTW there is only so much we can do, to show everything in a single row, when your viewport is quite narrow as you have there. This is yet another case where it's difficult to get something which works well for everyone -- Jan Stancek for example was proposing to display full timestamps (making them much more horizontal space) which was fine for him because he presumably has a conventional landscape-oriented monitor making the viewport much wider.

I've tested it with both addons disabled - it looks exactly the same.

The column is as wide as the longest shown log (AFAIK). SO in my case i has the width of /distribution/install's "test_log--distribution-install-CheckRecipe.log + 2" which appears exactly once (and, frankly, nobody ever looks at it), wasting space in tens to hundreds rows of actual tests, where the log column only says "TESTOUT.log  + X".

The wasted space _after_ the comment icon is due to recipe-task-status. See attached screenshot. I see no obvious reason for it to be that wide though.

I like the compactness of the new recipe view, where one task takes up just one line. Much more tasks fit onto the page now. Sadly, not seeing the task name is a deal breaker for me. I'm back to the old UI now.

recipe-task-status div width

Might be due to https://git.beaker-project.org/cgit/beaker/commit/?id=7eb5c03719a2dd622dc1011c7e5b547a5cc43d37

Disabling flex-basis for both task-logs and recipe-task-status (which otherwise overlap with task-metadata) make it look much better. See attached screenshot

scheenshot with removed flex-basis

Ideas for looking into this:

* In the mean time we have more CSS options. Determine if we can use CSS3 grids instead of flex boxes.
* Alternatively the flex-basis is maybe too big at this moment.
* Is there a possibility to use a threshold width for narrow view ports, which then changes the layout to not display everything in one line.

I don't see what the big fuzz is about. I have changed flex-basis of comments, result and the task name to make it look better. Also disabled the nowrap on taskname as it's much more useful to see full task name than to save few pixels.
