[JBoss-user] [JBoss Portal] - Portlet resizing

[kriscott <nu...@jb...>]

When a porlet is resized, such as Test portlet, (i.e. from VIEW to EDIT) other porlets' width gets resized as well.  Also, Hello porlet's height gets stretched all the way down to match the heght of the grid.  

This behavior gave me an illusion that I was looking at different page when it's not.  

I hate to mension names because I am a strong JBoss supporter but I must in this case.

I could be wrong but it seemed to me that Jetspeed and uPortal do not exhibit this behavior.  At least, they don't make the page look different when porlets are resized as JBoss portal do.

I personally like to see if porlet could be rolled up, when minimized.

One more thing, when portlets are maximized, the width of resized porlet exceed the width of previous INVISIBLE width of entire portal.

All this may sound like personal disliking of JBoss Portal's look and feel but I think the real issue here is how users perceive changes on screen.

On a typical portal, there would be many portlets on screen.  If a user makes changes to one portlet, it shouldn't give an illusion that other portlets are changing.  I think this distrupts end users perceptions, making looking at JBoss portal somewhat uncomfortable.

Is there a way to modify this behavior?
