2087212 - Scrollbar covers container indicator in the narrow view of vertical tabs

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 2074327

(Firefox :: Containers, enhancement)

Description

[Eric Pang [:epang] UX]

When scroll bars are set to always show in OS settings the container indicators are hidden.
Note, this is not a regression and currently occurs in proton prior to nova.

I've marked this bug as dependent on these two bugs:

https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2084984

• Work is being done to widen the sidebar in vertical tabs by 2 px to the right when the OS setting to show scroll bars is on. Tabs are currently being clipped.

https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2074327

• This will update the visuals of containers to have a vertical indicator to the right of tabs, which will cause them to be hidden by the scroll bar.

Once this work lands, if container indicators are hidden, can we look into widening the vertical tabs sidebar (narrow state) but a few pixels to make sure the indicator is shown? Would it be possible to only do this for users who use containers in vertical tabs?
