Set the width of the right side panel

[Micha van Tol]

Since today the right panel of editing/viewing an issue is very wide. I can adjust it per issue, but I can't find where I can fix the width. Does anyone know if this is possible and where I can find it?

Prior to this week, resizing the right pane would keep it that size (or the right pane was smaller, not certain at this point).  Now it takes up a third of my screen and that is just unnecessary, I have to resize every time I open up a card/issue to read.  It is very time consuming when I go through dozens of cards on an hourly basis.

Hi @Manoj Gangwar

Thanks.

I checked it with the browser inspector. See image.

This is now 35%. I think it was about 20% before today. For me this is not an improvement.

See example:

Hi @Micha van Tol 

This is not able to be set to fixed width.

This is a personal setting stored in your browser cookies. If you set it to a width all issues you view are the same in width, using the same screen.

If you use an external screen, the aspect ratio will be adjusted to the screen size.

Hi @Micha van Tol Welcome to the community!

I don't think we can fix it but we can only adjust it.

@Micha van Tol this happened because devs keep stuffing jira with "very useful" AI trash that nobody really needed. They added a "very helpful" "Improve issue" button on the right panel and forcibly increased the column width to "35% + 12px" to line up the buttons in a single row.

If you want to get rid of this "improvement" you can use a browser extension that allows applying custom CSS styles to web pages and use this code to eliminate the AI trash and reduce the column width.
