Odd scrolling behavior (Solved)

[s.molinari]

Any particular reason why you are using a layout within a layout?

I’ve based the above on an example I saw on the docs, so no - there is no specific reason apart from the fact that it looked like I wanted. What would be the proper way of making this work (left drawer - content - right drawer) ?

Cheers,

You have all that in your outside layout. So, create your chat window on the page itself, without the inside layout.

I think I need a little more context. I’m still new on the web side of development and am probably making rookie mistakes…

Removing the “inner” layout messes up the whole app:

Would you be up to adding what you have to a codesandbox? https://codesandbox.quasar.dev

Fork the sandbox and add your code.

Try to play with layout builder, must be a setting in view prop so scrolling wont tag along, tho eventually it will scroll along when youve scrolled at bottom end or top ends of your child component.

All right, I’ve created a sandbox and uploaded the relevant files: https://codesandbox.io/s/codesandbox-app-c16tu

@metalsadman
I have been working with the layout builder, although I get the feeling its only usable to create layouts that are the “main layout” for the whole app. It does not seem to really show how to create a “child layout” like I need it in the “Chat” view.

The aim is as follows:
The main app should consist of the custom chrome, top toolbar and left drawer. Depending on what icon I click on the drawer, the ‘pane’ to the right is showing the appropriate content - whatever that may be: like the settings page with the given layout or the chat window.

Here’s a mockup:

I am just completely lost on how to integrate all that together - I’m missing the best practices / approaches that are probably common in web dev.

Cheers,

another note: The scrolling in the sandbox does not behave like it does in my electron app (sigh). With electron - the text in the right drawer also scrolls along with the central content…

@mboeni it’s not odd really, the docs does the same. anyway you can use https://quasar.dev/vue-components/scroll-area#Introduction. https://38pvj.sse.codesandbox.io/ivechat, just do something with the css height etc… to get where you want it.

@metalsadman Yep, QScrollArea did the trick. Thanks for your help!
