[cosmic] sidebar requires scrolling

[Jeremy Bícha]

In Ubuntu 18.10, the sidebar in GNOME Settings doesn't show the final item Details without scrolling.

This issue affects the Yaru and Adwaita themes but Ambiance is not affected (because of slightly different element sizing there). Therefore, this issue is basically new to 18.10 for default Ubuntu users.

This has been an upstream bug since the GNOME Settings redesign (introduction of sidebar) but we might want to handle this for Ubuntu 18.10 ourselves.

Because gnome-control-center 3.30 now hides panels like Wi-Fi if the computer does not have that hardware, this bug may not be reproducible on those computers. If we made the window taller, I don't think it would be much of a problem if there was extra space at the bottom of the sidebar for those users.

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

This is being marked as notfixing for Cosmic. It's a nice to have, but not a release blocker.

Was fixed https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-control-center/1:3.30.2-4ubuntu2

Fixed for scale 1.0 maybe. I don't think it is fixed for 2.0.

[Daniel van Vugt (vanvugt)]

Is this still a problem? This seems to have been reported against only cosmic so far.
