This is a UX nitpicking. Currently whenever there is a long-running notification that cannot be dismissed, the "Settings" gear icon will be covered and not clickable if the user moves the panel to the right.

Steps to Reproduce:

  1. Move panel to the right (Ctrl-P: "View: Move Panel Right")
  2. Let, for example, the C++ extension to install the required dependencies, just like the screenshot below.

Does this issue occur when all extensions are disabled?: Yes/No No, because then there will be no such notifications at all...

@misolori should we just offset it by the activity bar width or do you have something better?

miguelsolorio commented 3 years ago

@sbatten yea I'd say activity bar (48x) + 8px (the current offset)

I think the notification center which originates from the status bar, needs to remain in place and it is dismissible. However, the toasts need to be moved or be dismissible. This creates a bit of awkardness I think.
