Feed errors can hide scrollbar #68

Open cfinke opened 13 years ago

cfinke commented 13 years ago

What steps will reproduce the problem?

  1. Subscribe to enough feeds to produce a scrollbar.
  2. Subscribe to a feed that is offline/empty
  3. Refresh the feeds so the "Error parsing feed" error bar appears.
  4. Drag the right-hand-side of the sidebar window to the left. The scrollbar eventually gets hidden underneath the main content pane.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead? When the message bar "[FEEDNAME]: Error parsing feed." is displayed, the width of this box can cause the scrollbar to get pushed beneath the main content pane.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system? Feed Sidebar 4.4.2 / Firefox 3.6.8 / Windows XP

Please provide any additional information below. It would be better to just display an icon (perhaps a red exclamation mark?) to identify that a feed had errors. Clicking the icon could display a window with all the feed errors listed, similar to the javascript error console on Firefox.

Many of my feeds have occasional errors when they are empty, and each instance of a parsing error is overlayed on the previous ones in the sidebar, so clicking the "close" button on each one can take a long time. Displaying them in a window with a "clear all" button would be more user friendly.
