Oddities in display formatting...

[Jeff]

I've been seeing these in the last few releases and I think they may be related.  Has anyone else seen these?  I've cleared my cache and tried both Google Chrome and IE11.

ISSUE #1

Is there a way to make it not wrap the right pane below the left pane when the window size is smaller and instead make it stay in position and scroll to the right instead?

ISSUE #2

When editing a job configuration, the "Apply" and "Save" buttons are mostly hidden below the bottom of the page and the horizontal scroll bar only spans a small portion of the window width.

That's a feature. Make the window wider, Jenkins needs the space to show things side by side.

Known issue that will probably be fixed in 1.598 or so:

It's a feature that is a major annoyance to a certain class of users.
Usability guidelines would suggest that the most important thing is
displayed prominently and requires the least amount of effort to see.
In jenkins *surely* that would be what is normally in the main panel and
*not* the sidelinks which where not the most prominent thing before. So
for a job that would be is the build currently building / what is its
status (stable/unstable/failed) an what about the metrics (unit tests
etc). Then would come the configure/up links and finally previous builds...

For small screens I would suggest just collapsing the most recent builds
so they are not displayed at all until the user wants to see them.
