Remove Full Height Sidebar #122

Open bradgignac opened 9 years ago

bradgignac commented 9 years ago

Canon currently uses a full-height column background on layouts with a right sidebar. Unfortunately, these columns are notoriously difficult to implement in a generic way and come with many trade-offs. This is a well-known problem going all the way back to the early 2000s. Once you combine fluid columns, multiple columns, and responsive features, it is pretty much impossible to implement. By including this style in Canon, we impose a lot of necessary restrictions on Canon users. The easiest solution is simply to remove the background styles altogether.

One example, three column layouts with a facet sidebar AND a help sidebar aren't possible as long as the faux columns technique is used.

I think this is a reasonable thing to do.
