What issue are you seeing?

The main response area does not extend even if you have a lot of space on either side. It feels irritating that you have a lot of space but still can't see the full response. Its bad UX.

What steps can reproduce the bug?

Uploaded thread: 019df6e8-90cf-7e61-a8c3-2f4bcac95b06

See anything on a bigger screen (1920px wide at least) which outputs a table with lot of values. A horizontal bar in the table would appear.

What is the expected behavior?

The body area should take the free space. At least a button to extend body area can be added. So that default behaviour would remain the same.

TL;DR

The issue can be mitigated by adjusting the layout to utilize the available horizontal space, potentially by adding a responsive design element or a button to extend the response area.

Guidance

  • Review the CSS styling for the main response area to ensure it is set to expand with the available horizontal space.
  • Consider adding a button or toggle to allow users to manually adjust the size of the response area.
  • Test the layout on different screen sizes to identify the breaking point where the response area stops expanding.
  • Inspect the HTML structure of the table with the horizontal bar to see if it's causing the layout issue.

Example

No code example is provided due to lack of specific technical details.

Notes

The solution may require modifications to the Codex App's frontend code, and the exact changes will depend on the existing implementation.

Recommendation

Apply a workaround by adding a button to extend the response area, as this will provide a temporary fix while a more permanent solution is developed.
