fixed rule window size

[tessus]

I have linked the code where there is a comment about the new library used (tabulator) having some challenges with this resizing.

Thank you. I had an appointment this afternoon and I wasn't able to read up on it. I only saw the referenced issue in the comment, but need more time to look into it, which I will do this evening.

So, why didn't someone answer with: it was a workaround for a bug or limitation. Please open a github issue for further discussions. On one side I can certainly understand this, but there might be fixes or better libraries in the future. (As I mentioned before, I have to read up on it and maybe open an issue with the tabulator project.)
I like github, so I don't have a problem with it. But questions are usually closed in gh trackers referencing a forum or some other channel.

Which is why I asked my question in this forum (as a starting point). I certainly have no problem to move it over to gh. But in that case, please state in which repo, and other info: issue, discussion, ...

The way you initially wrote with bold text and suggestive questions made it look like you were baiting for an argument.

Initially I did not write in bold. I wrote in bold to emphasize my unanswered questions. People tend not to answer questions, but rather give unrelated statements. This is not an OPNsense forum problem, but apparently how communication now works. 20 years ago, you asked a question and you got an answer to that exact question.
These days you get comments, deflection, part of an answer that could have been derived if all of it had been answered, or an answer that might not have anything to do with the question that was asked.

The answer "it was a deliberate design choice" by itself is utterly useless unless I am told why.

I was just trying to emphasize the question and I believe that is what bold is for. To emphasize text. I did not use all CAPS, btw.

But if at the top I select "show me 50 entries per page" there is absolutely no reason not to just render a table with 50 lines and let the browser and me handle it.

Thank you, this was exactly my point as well.

We are constantly working on improving the user experience with the new tabulator library.

My point is that the user experience hasn't been improved in this case. At least not for me. For me the experience got worse in this specific case. Otherwise I wouldn't have brought it up. Please check my first post again. I mentioned that I missed rules because of this. I did not use profanity, nor did I attack anyone. I voiced an opinion. That's all. And apparently I am not alone with my opinion.
I will read up on the tabulator issue, but I am not a GUI person, which means I will be most likely over my head with this one.

So maybe there are options or ways to get back the old behavior even with the new library. If not, the new libary should fix this problem to actually improve the user experience. Otherwise you could just remove the "number-of-rules" button and the pagination functionality, since those things are pretty much useless now.

Apart from all that I am very happy with OPNsense. I am not someone to complain without reason and I actually still haven't complained yet. I mentioned that the user experience is worse for me. A complaint is filed, if the other party did something wrong. But I don't think that anybody did anything wrong in this case. A combination of circumstances led to an unfavorable result and I can't complain about something like this.
