Back/forward/reload buttons not working while viewing tabs in compact mode

[Scepty-SSB]

What happened?

I primarily use compact mode, and I've recently noticed that when I go to use the back/forward/reload page buttons, they won't work if the tab bar is showing. In the attatched video, I try to click the buttons several times and nothing happens.

Edit: Confirmed to still be an issue in 1.0.0-a.39

That happens because of the padding the Sidebar uses to align it self. I made a quick and dirty fix if anyone wanna try until the fix is implemented from Zen.

Follow the instructions here Zen Live Editing Docs and then add this to the userChrome.css

I should note. If you are using the Smaller Compact Sidebar, it will move the Sidebar a little down.

@media (-moz-bool-pref: "zen.view.compact") {
  /* the 7px is pretty much a trial and error until it looked nice! */
  #navigator-toolbox {
    --calculation: calc(
      var(--zen-compact-toolbox-margin-single) + 0.15rem +
        var(--zen-element-separation) +
        (7px + (var(--toolbarbutton-inner-padding) * 2))
    );
    --padding-fix: var(--calculation) 0 0 0;
    margin: var(--padding-fix) !important;
    padding: var(--zen-compact-toolbox-margin-single) !important;
    height: calc(100% - var(--calculation)) !important;
  }
}

I experienced it on my Windows device as well. Thanks for the fix.

+1 for this, really inconvenient since hovering near the back arrow actually opens the side bar too. Honestly it's very difficult to use the browser like this so maybe this would be more like medium severity

+1 for this.

This seems to be fixed in update 1.0.1-a, I personally don't see any issues clicking back/forward anymore!

Agreed.
