lots of empty space in new firewall ui, yet I must scroll

[bimbar]

I know you're helping Patrick but it doesn't make things easier here. This is the first post:

Maybe we can get rid of the scrolling subframe? Or at least scale the frame to the full height that is available?

On my screen the firewall rules window uses about half of the available height, but I can scroll way down

This is the commit in 26.1.6:

OP asked for it but did not acknowledge its existence.

One of the reasons we ask for actionable tickets is so the requester can confirm that is what they wanted (or not).

Everybody else adding related context in this forum thread doesn't help progress the initial request anymore.

Yes, I did not catch that. It is true that this particular bug is fixed, thank you.

Still, the general problem of poor space usage remains. So I completely agree with Patrick on that matter.

I think you have uploaded the wrong screenshot ?!

Fixed in the post - thank you.

I am sorry for bringing this topic up again, but I have no choice : The amount of data I can see in the webGUI part of Firewall Rules [New] is A LOT LESS than the old Firewall Rules that will become Legacy starting with 26.7 and moved to a plug-in :'(

Here are some screenshots :

Firefox - 1366x768 Laptop Screen


LibreWolf - 1366x768 Laptop Screen


Pale Moon - 1366x768 Laptop Screen


Pale Moon - 1920x1200 Desktop Monitor - Windowed


Pale Moon - 1920x1200 Desktop Monitor - Window resized to almost the size of the whole monitor



Issues I have with the Firewall Rules [New] webGUI :
- I can't see all the rules like I could in the old Firewall Rules and can't even scroll to see more on a 1366x768 screen.
- I feel like the 'Commands' should be part of the whole Firewall Rule line and not a side-menu or overlay sub-window so to speak.
This forces you to scroll sideways to be able to see the 'Comment' part of the Firewall Rule for example.
- On the 'Pale Moon - 1920x1200 Desktop Monitor - Windowed' screenshot you can see that there is a lot of overlapping of text and everything is not outlined if you know what I mean.
This is also the case for 'Pale Moon - 1366x768 Laptop Screen' and in the case of 'Pale Moon - 1920x1200 Desktop Monitor - Window resized to almost the size of the whole monitor' this leads to a lot of added unnecessary space and waste of it.
- Even on the 'Pale Moon - 1920x1200 Desktop Monitor - Window resized to almost the size of the whole monitor' screenshot you can see that I can't see all the Firewall Rules which is just strange : Both how much width the data needs and how much data is shown from top to bottom.


I would kindly like to ask you guys to have another look at this and maybe redesign it a bit ? :)



/EDIT :
Maybe I should have posted this in another topic : https://forum.opnsense.org/index.php?topic=51158.0 ?!
I remembered there was a second topic, but thought they were almost the same, however that does not seem to be the case...
