[Zotero 7 Beta] main interface is too wide to display completely on a vertical screen

My external screen for MacBook's resolution is 800*1280 (actual resolution is 1600*2560, but text is too small with this resolution). In window mode, zotero is too wide and can't be narrowed manually; it can be made full screen, but the interface is incomplete (the right side of the main interface goes beyond the screen and can't be seen).

Yes, we're going to reduce the minimum width.

@jiiuuliv: Beta 74 dynamically adjusts the window's minimum width to account for the visible panes, so if you want to make the pane much narrower, you can close the item pane.

@dstillman is there any plan to make width fully customizable? It may sound a little petty, but I cannot place Zotero side-by-side with another window on my monitor because of Zotero's minimum width, which slows down writing research.

@frankiersanchez: It just doesn't really make sense to allow the window to be shrunk such that entire panes start getting cut off — the only reason to have a window visible in the first place would be to actually view its content. As I say above, if you want to make the pane narrower, you can close the collection and/or item pane. You can also switch to Stacked view (View → Layout), which allows the window to be made considerably narrower by moving the item pane below the items list.
