[Bug]: UI is not responsive

[zhiyong9654]

What did you do when it broke?

Thanks for open-notebook! It's been changing the way I document and work. Anyway:

My setup is running docker engine within WSL2 on windows.

I followed the quick start guide for a docker setup:

# Create project directory
mkdir open-notebook && cd open-notebook

# Download configuration files
curl -O https://raw.githubusercontent.com/lfnovo/open-notebook/main/docker-compose.yml
curl -O https://raw.githubusercontent.com/lfnovo/open-notebook/main/.env.example

# Rename and configure environment
mv .env.example docker.env
# Edit docker.env with your API keys

# Start Open Notebook
docker compose up -d

1. I accessed the frontend via firefox v145.0.1
2. I configured open notebook to use my local ollama endpoint and gemini
3. I tried out creating a new notebook, various sources, and chatting with llms about them, and the functionality looks correct, where the sources are correctly pulling context from source.
4. However the UI is not responsive/unexpected.

How did it break?

Issue 1

Expected:

• Note's fullscreen button should take up the full screen

Result:

• On both Chrome and Firefox, prior to clicking full screen

• After clicking full screen

Issue 2:

Expected:

• Responsive chat window that scales to window size

Result: On Firefox, you can see that the chat window is cut off:

I repeated this on chrome and the chat window resizes correctly:

Issue 3:

Expected:

• (This might be a feature request rather than a bugfix) Refer to issue 1, the notes window that pops up by default doesn't seem to make effective use of the space available. I think if the fullscreen button works, this is less of a problem, though the default size does look a little small imo!

I have the same Issue 1 and Issue 2 in Brave, Chromium, and Firefox. Ubuntu 25.10 Open-Notebook version 1.1.1

Brave version [Brave 1.84.141 (Official Build) (64-bit)] Chromium: 142.0.7444.176

Chromium Version 142.0.7444.175 (Official Build) snap (64-bit)

Firefox 145.0.2 (64-bit)

Upgraded Open-Notebook to version 1.2.2 and it is different. It expands the chat pane by scrolling the entire window to the right (screenshots below). There is no horizontal scrollbar and no way to scroll left. Collapsing the menu pane still does not show the full main pane (1920x1080 resolution, default zoom).

Note behavior (Issue 1) remains the same.
