@SGrabarczuk (WMF) There is a link to the prototype in the news. I do not know where to write a feedback about the prototype, so I will leave it here. There is a left sidebar in the new vector too, and I'm used to its width. In Windows, I have System settings - Display - Scale 125% and text size 110%. Because of this, in the prototype, the left sidebar is very wide - it occupies a third of the laptop screen (1366x768) and the entire text of the article is shifted to the right side of the screen. This is a problem at the level of improving accessibility. Can the prototype developer look at the width of the sidebar when scaling? (in the new vector, the sidebar is not so wide at a larger scale in Windows settings)

Thank you for this comment. I've shared this with our designer. To give more feedback on the prototype, add your username into the box above "new section", click "new section", and you should see a pre-filled form.

@Sunpriat thanks for raising this point. It would be helpful if you can post screenshots of how Wikipedia looks to you with your scale & text settings, and then the same screenshot of the prototype. I just tried increasing the scale on Wikipedia and am seeing the sidebar increase similarly to how it does in the prototype, so I think there is something I am missing here.

@Sunpriat is the difference that the sidebar is now wider than before, or is there some difference in the way it responds/resizes when you zoom?
