Fixes #23517. While this feature was added to Zulip very early, it has been troubled for most of that time; it never looked great visually, had a lot of implementation complexity around resize.js, and has a weird model (a setting that changes the UI only in certain window sizes). This option is not commonly used; while a significant portion of users have it enabled, many of them just don't use window sizes where it actually has an effect. So it's not clear that it will be missed if removed; we got very few bug reports when it was completely broken for a few days after we first integrated the new left sidebar private messages design. Even with it no longer being broken, it does not work very well with the addition of the new PMs section in the left sidebar. (Having two scrollbars in the sidebar looks quite awkward.) The new private messages section in the left sidebar also addresses some of the use cases for always keeping the Users list always visible, even in narrow windows. This option is only removed from frontend for now. To make this decision easily reversible, the backend code of this feature is still kept. |
