Is there an existing issue for this?

  • I checked and did not find my issue in the already reported ones

Describe the bug

Resizing the left hand column reaches a maximum size then can not be resized again.

Steps to reproduce

  1. Launch Darktable in full screen mode
  2. Drag left hand column right until it reaches it maximum size
  3. Try to resize the column
  4. Column will not resize.

Expected behavior

Columns should be resizeable from maximum.
