Footprint editor doesn not show right sidebar entirely

Footprint editor does not show full right sidebar on my system

I have already reported the problem 20632, but I thought I’d try here too, where I hope to find some suggestions quickly

Do you have a footprint open there which you could edit?

I can do the same on MacOS.
grabit

But I just grab the line marked red and drag it to the left … :slight_smile:

Ah, the classic case of user error :see_no_evil: I swear I know how to use a mouse… sometimes. Thanks for the help, and maybe I’ll schedule that vacation after all!

It’s a bug.
The default screen layout chops off the inspector pane.
It’s fixable by dragging the splitter, but it’s still a bug.

It is a feature.
I wouldn’t even bother to write a bug report.

Sure doesn’t it increase workspace area?
