This is on the radar but a P2.  It's a regression and should be fixed but isn't actively being worked on.  

I suspect the 'fix' here is to set overflow: hidden temporarily while resizing the sidebar and then reset that once resizing has stopped for a moment.  Unfortunately using a css flexed width was slow and bug 1237368 sped it up but led to this.  Note: Long term we're planning to use inline object expansion instead of the sidebar object viewer (bug 1243802)

Hi, no updates on status for this one beyond Comment 1.  Is this something that you are can reproduce / see frequently / is annoying?  I actually can't see it at all on a Win7 build but it's a fairly fast computer so maybe not representative.

This one just came up in bug triage and we couldn't tell if it's something concerning enough to warrant further work, hence the needinfo. We trust that your team has assigned it the correct priority based on your triage. I'm marking it "fix-optional" for FF48 based on that.

The new console frontend fixed this problem.
