Lower Vector min-width to 500px
Closed, ResolvedPublic5 Estimated Story Points

Description

Loweing the min-width from Vector will allow the Vector skin to be more fluid. While removing the min-width is trivial, we may want to consider other parts of the design in addition to this work.

Note: we are committed to revisiting the presentation of the tabs at the top of the page as a part of the aesthetic refinements at the end of the project.

user links should not wrap until they run out of space. I think this might be related to the search container having flex-grow: 1

search bar should remain in top position across from logo, don't think it needs a min-width at that point

Acceptance criteria

  • The design adapts all the way down to 500px
  • For now, at anything lower than 500px, the design will not adapt any further to focus engineering efforts.

Developer notes

The logo https://en.wikipedia.org/static/images/mobile/copyright/wikisource-wordmark-zh.svg is the widest of all our deployed logos so make sure to use this during development.

Questions to be answered during development

  • What adjustments need to be made to the header/sidebar/tabs at lower resolutions?

@alexhollender can you please take a look at the 1920 resolutions and make sure they are ok. They differ slightly from the expected screenshots in your instructions.

Edtadros moved this task from QA to QA in Prod on the Web-Team-Backlog (Kanbanana-FY-2020-21) board.

Discussed the 1920px resolution question (see T264218#6756382) in standup and we agreed that the actual behavior was correct. Moving to Needs QA in Prod.

ah wow, I totally missed that in the version I tested and took screenshots of. The version in your screenshots looks correct.
