[Desktop] Brave browser window won't resize smaller in width past certain limit set by number of open tabs

Ymetro commented 4 years ago

Description

The Brave browser window does not resize to a smaller size than invisibly set by, probably, a website. I also jumped out of the viewable screen when moved with AquaSnap Pro 1.23.10 running, especially when "show window content when moving window" is turned off in Windows 10 Pro version 2004 build 19041.388 making it almost impossible to get the window back onto the monitor.

Steps to Reproduce

Open about a hundred different websites
De-maximize the window
Try to resize it to smaller - it won't let you past a certain point.

Actual result:

At the moment the window won't resize to 3 quarters of my screen in width. Height is not affected. Even had one case that the browser width was about 4 to 6 times the width of my screen, and it could not be resized smaller by dragging the left or right edge of the window.

Expected result:

The window to be resized in any size the user wants. And it fits with fast snapping with the Window + arrow keys.

Reproduces how often:

Every session.

Sounds like a limitation of window resizing based on the the number of open tabs you have. The workaround is to tear off the tab and resize the window you really want.

A possible solution is to use a carousel or overflow/drop down menu to allow for window resizing if a user has a ton of tabs.
