No visual indicator of cell execution success when a code cell is large

Open rebornix opened this issue 1 year ago • 2 comments

  • have a cell which can be larger than the viewport
  • scroll its cell status bar out of the viewport
  • when the cell runs fast, I can't tell if it runs or not as both the execution count and the cell status bar are invisible

When we are scrolling down, we will make the execution button sticky to ensure it's always visible to users. Maybe we can do the same for the execution count. We could also have some affordance for the execution count for indicating its state (succeed/fail).

Another optimization we could explore is to render the code cell editor only at the maximum height of the viewport.

rendering a cell with 200 lines of code

rendering the same cell at the max height of the viewport
