What?

An experiment aimed at #72507 and alternative to #72454

Makes Note threads scrollable with their maximum height dynamic according to their vertical position.

Note

This isn’t a complete solution for two known cases where thread’s height may be too short for decent usability:

  • The site editor in post-only mode doesn’t have the ”padding appender” that adds space to the bottom of the post content like the post editor does. See the second screen recording. UPDATE: this can be resolved by Use padding appender hook in Site editor #72598.
  • A post template might not have footer or may have a very short one and this would cause the same problem

Why?

Without this, long notes/threads can be cut off if there’s not enough overflow in the canvas to scroll far enough.

Additionally, this offers some improvement to viewing any long threads because without it going to end of a long thread entails scrolling the block (at least partially) out of view. That said, there remains a different concern for very tall blocks, where the thread scrolls out of view when scrolling to the end of the block. We need stickiness I guess.

How?

  • Assigns the y position as a CSS variable so both positioning and max-height CSS values can utilize it
  • Adds CSS overflow to threads
  • Revises the skip link/button styling a bit as entailed by the overflow change

Fix demonstrated:

Notes.post.editor.post-only.mp4

Trouble in site editor post-only views

This can also be an issue in the template view if the template has a short footer or lacks one.

Side benefit

View whole threads without scrolling block out of view.

Oh, I think we overlooked template-locked rendering at some point. I think v1 should enable the feature only when the editor is rendering just the post content.

Clever idea to make the thread area scrollable. I'll give it a try to see how it feels.

@jasmussen - how do you feel about this proposed solution to the overflow issue?

Nice work. There's some potential here. Here's a quick GIF:

It's a slightly unusual behavior but it might be good as a bugfix if the code is simple. But there are a couple of pieces to it. This may ultimately need to be a mainly tech-driven solution, as far as finding the beta-phase bugfix that is the simplest and most solid, that we have confidence in. Whether that's this one, or Adam's suggestion of extending the canvas, both seem to directly address the edgecase of long comments.

What are your general thoughts on this?

Two things though. If we go with this route, we should also apply a min-height, so the resting state looks balanced:

Here, the bottom padding of the input field, and the bottom padding of the note container itself, should ideally be the same all the way around.

Another thing, when notes go really long in Google Docs, they get elided after the first several lines of text like so:

We have here a mockup for how that could look for us:

It's unclear if that's possible in the beta period, it can probably wait, but it is an ingredient of the puzzle here.

Good catch. This fix is in ea68b2d – just needed some flex-shrink: 0.


I’ve made #72598 for getting the padding appender working in the Site editor, and that would solve one of the problem cases for this approach. Given we could land that for 6.9 and we also do as George suggested #72547 (comment) then this could do, I think.

I agree, let's disable Notes until the Notes supports the site editor and templates.

This worked well in my testing. Should we use this instead of #72454?

Thanks for your work here @stokesman - we have decided to go with a different solution, see #72811 - appreciate any feedback you have on that ticket.
