Hi,
A patch in our tracker [0], proposes to make the frameborder between the left pane (navi) and right pane (main page), visible so that the left pane can also be resized in browsers other than Firefox.
Implementing this patch would make the interface more ugly, but I'm wondering if it would be useful to be able to resize the left pane? The only two reasons I can think of are -being able to display very long database/table names -increase the size of the left pane on a screen with a very small resolution.
If the resizing of the panes would be useful, I think there are better solutions for resizing the left frame, f.e. with a javascript solution or a config parameter, to make it work in all browsers. This kind of solution could also work if we ever would abandon frames and use <div> to seperate the navi part from the main screen.
What do you think?

Just fyi, this feature also has been discussed during last gsoc. Back then I wrote some code that allows to hide/show the left pane with a single mouseclick, and I think I also built resizing.
But I was asked by another gsoc student to revert my changes because he worked on some overall recoding of the frames part. There were some issues that hindered him to push it to master, but I don't remember what it was.

I implemented frame collapsing in the new navigation, which is still unfinished, and I guess that adding a functionality to also resize the frame shouldn't be too difficult. But it would be for 3.6.0 at this point.

Indeed. We could also discuss the removal of frames as the team meeting.

A correction to this bug: I just checked and resizing works in: * IE6 * IE9, works also in IE7 and IE8 compatibility modes so it should work in every IE version * Opera 11.60
Doesn't work in: * Chrome 16, so probably also any other WebKit powered browser (eg. Safari) is affected too. Konqueror (KHTML) may also have problems.
I think it could be solved by sniffing for WebKit/KHTML and using some JavaScript powered solution (fremeset's cols attribute can be dynamically changed by JavaScript). I don't like how the default border looks, it's horrible.
