Fixed In Version: ovirt-3.5.0-alpha2
Doc Type: Bug Fix
Doc Text:
Cause: The way the headers of the grid are constructed caused the area which you can drag to be slightly left of the separator line. Consequence: It would be unclear where the user can drag the header to resize the table. Fix: Rework how the header is constructed so the drag area is centered over the separator. Result: It is now clear where the user can drag the header.

Description Assaf Muller 2013-12-03 09:19:08 UTC 
Resizing columns in the GUI is a pain because the separator is too thin. I'd love for the separator to be wider.

> Resizing columns in the GUI is a pain because the separator is too thin.

It's is not really because the separator is too thin - it is because the mouse-cursor range that allows column resize is too narrow and asymmetric. 

see attachment 860168 [details] - note that the mouse-cursor range in which column resize is allowed is really narrow, and it is not symmetric (the range is on the left side of the separator, and not on the right). 

see attachment 860169 [details] for a proper mouse-cursor range for allowing column resize (recorded from my e-mail client) - you can see that is wider then the web-admin's, and it is symmetric (i.e. the range is identical on the left side of the separator as well as on the right side of the separator). 

see attachment 860183 [details] for a summary of the current state and how things should look like after this bug will be fixed.
