Description

  • I agree to follow the Code of Conduct that this project adheres to.
  • I have searched the issue tracker for a feature request that matches the one I want to file, without success.

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
I'm often frustrated when using the application on a small screen because the content in the right sidebar is not clearly visible. Its fixed width makes it difficult to read, and I have no way to adjust it. Being able to resize the sidebar width would, for example, make it much easier to read the property value table.

Describe the solution you'd like
I would like the ability to resize the width of the sidebar, for example by dragging its edge.

Describe alternatives you've considered
There is no alternative.

Research direction

Start by locating the implementation of the right-hand sidebar in the draw.io client-side editor and identify how its fixed width is set. Trace the sidebar boundary and existing layout or pointer interactions before deciding where resizing belongs. Done means the sidebar can be widened or narrowed by dragging its edge and the property value table is more readable on small screens.
