The sidebar should be able to be scrolled (for cases where e.g. the Translator Note is too long) #783

STR:

  1. (Optional, may help reproduce this issue) Have a small-ish monitor or a standard monitor (say, 24" like in my case) with 150% DPI on Windows
  2. Work on a PO file that has strings with Notes for translators
  3. Add a very, very long translator note
  4. (Also optional and can help reproduce this) Resize the window down

AR: You can't see the entire translator note or the Edit Note button (it's also not tabbable. I can only edit the note via Ctrl+M or via the right click menu). Also the suggestions pane at the top is completely missing.

ER: I would expect the sidebar to be able to be scolled when overflowed.

Ouch :(

I would expect the sidebar to be able to be scolled when overflowed.

That's one option, there are others:

  1. separately scrollable notes field(s)
  2. truncated text and "show more" to show in separate popup

Simple scrolling could hide the notes in presence of too many suggestions (they are currently truncated, so care should be taken to preserve that logic, ensuring that the notes are at least partially visible). The Edit Note button should probably be visible at all times too.
