DVR 17 Fairlight Left Panels Width

I'm going through the Fairlight training video and I'm watching Mary drag the border between the timeline and the Index or Media panels on the left side of the screen in order to see more information in them. But when I try to drag the border it only moves a few pixels (perhaps 10 or 20) and most of the information in the detail views is hidden.

I've tried resetting the UI, single vs dual monitor mode, turning on and off all the panels, but nothing will get the border to budge beyond what looks to be around 1/4" on my screen.

What am I missing?

what is the resolution of the UI monitor

It's HD, 1920 x 1080. I have three monitors, and I'm having the problem when displaying the UI on a single monitor and also when I use the dual display option.

Known issue-- I reported this on January 8th: viewtopic.php?f=21&t=131246 but never heard back after sending a project to Peter.

To me the biggest issue is not just that, but the huge inconsistencies with panel resizing. Here's the panel widths I get on the various pages (measured with lightshot screengrab app):

Media page: I can take it from 384 to 1350 pixels (with right-side panels closed).
Fairlight: 432 to 442.
Cut page: 567 to 1097.
Edit page: 406 to 677.
Fusion page: 0 to 1899!
Color page: 432 to 507.
Deliver page: not adjustable.

Yeah, that range of motion looks to be exactly what I'm seeing. Thanks for pass on the info.

I should add that I'm also on the release version (I've just updated my sig to reflect this).

Some more info: If I "unmaximize" the Window so that I can see and adjust the UI window's borders rather than having it fill one of my monitors, the divider between the left panels and the timeline becomes unadjustable (likely because the UI window has become slightly less wide).

But I can then grab the left or right border of the UI Window and drag it to fill the width of two monitors, and when it's that wide I can move the panel divider so that the left panels expand to about the width of half of one 1920 x 1080 monitor. This is probably close to the 45% value that Peter quotes to Visualfeast in the post he linked to.

And here's the key: If, in that very wide UI window with a wide left panel, I then drag the right border of the entire UI window to the left to make it narrower, the left panels stay the same width until the timeline panel has shrunk to about 75% of the width of one monitor, then the left panels start to get narrower as the whole window narrows and the timeline stays the same width.

As someone who's worked on UI software, it looks to me very much like the timeline panel has a "minimum width" setting that's too large. If that's accurate, it should be a trivial thing to fix.

If there's a more official way to report a bug than this post then please let me know so I can do so.

Still a problem in Resolve 17.1...
