Available Widgets and Inactive Widgets boxes should not be collapsible

[SergeyBiryukov]

In 3.7, "Available Widgets" and "Inactive Widgets" were collapsible boxes, same as widget areas.

In 3.8, "Available Widgets" and "Inactive Widgets" no longer look like collapsible boxes. However, they are still collapsible, and there's an odd arrow icon on the right (see the screenshot).

I guess the boxes should not be collapsible if they are not supposed to be.

I guess the boxes should not be collapsible if they are not supposed to be.

Or, if they are supposed to be collabsible (e.g. for quicker access to the "Inactive Widgets" box), the UI should make that obvious.

The only visual differences between these boxes and other collapsable boxes are:

• font size
• padding
• border-bottom: 1px solid #eee.

I think the font size and padding are probably appropriate given the context; would adding back a bottom border to the sidebar name fix this?

I need to work on my reading comprehension; I see that this refers to inactive and available widgets only. I agree that these either need standard container styling or they need to be made non-collapsable.

I would lean non-collapsing, as I don't see a hugely compelling reason to collapse available and inactive.

Set Available and Inactive Widget areas to not collapse, since they don't look like collapsing elements. Fixes #26327, props MikeHansenMe.

[26593] won't work for non-English.

26593.3.diff checks the sidebar id not the name.

Working on a patch now to allow these arrows to still exist, but appear only on hover.

In the process, I found the /* Show the arrow only on hover */ comment and I'm confused by it. It appears to be wrong.

26327.3.diff​ reverts [26593] and makes it so these arrows only appear on hover (when uncollapsed). If we like the behavior, we can go with it.

Revert r26593 so Available and Inactive widgets are once again collapsible. Make the arrows only appear on hover when uncollapsed. Fixes #26327, props nacin.
