Grey Bar Scrollable

Web
1

Hello, I’d like to inquire about scrolling behavior for the SocialPlus component for web.

  1. The sidebar is scrollable if there are many communities. This is expected and desired behavior.
  2. The center of the main panel (with the post content) also scrolls. Desired and expected behavior. We also think the current width of the content is better UI than having it take up more width of the screen.
  3. The grey bars on either side of the content on the grey panel do NOT scroll. This can be frustrating behavior for a user that wants to scroll the main content.

We are curious if it would be possible to allow the grey side bars of the main panel to scroll with the main content? Trying to customize this ourselves would require changes necessitating a fork of the Social+ UI Kit, and we are wary of introducing so many customizations. This is preferable to us over increasing width of the content within.

Hello @mqm , Thanks so much for flagging this — we completely understand how the “dead zones” in the grey areas can feel frustrating from a user perspective.

At the moment, Web UIKit is designed so that scrolling is scoped only to the center content container, which is why the grey side areas don’t scroll. That said, we agree this creates a usability gap, and we’ve logged it with our team as a UX backlog item for future improvement.

We truly appreciate you highlighting this.
