[Bug]: Resizing window to mimumum width while sidebar is expanded causes permanent sidebar deadlock #2339
Description
Before submitting
- I searched existing issues and did not find a duplicate.
- I included enough detail to reproduce or investigate the problem.
Area
Not sure
Steps to reproduce
- Make window as small as possible.
- Maximize window (snapping)
- Resize sidebar to be as big as can be
- Restore the window down from maximum (unsnap).
- Witness as u cant see any top bar items OR resize the side bar :(
Expected behavior
Allows me to shrink it the legal size at least. (not automatic, just allow the user to 'fix it' given the ux language established of dragging the thing normally).
Actual behavior
Sidebar cannot be resized at all, remains fixed as the underlying conditional logic is refusing the resize request due to a bug. (the bug)
Impact

Sidebar sizing and compact-window behavior have been rewritten with bounded resizable state since this report. The old minimum-width deadlock path no longer applies.
