Search bar expansion bug

[ardacebi]

Any solutions to this?

https://github.com/flarum/core/issues/1475

I submitted the bug report to Flarum's core repo so you can access the issue via that link, let me know if there are anything you can do about this.

thanks for reporting this.
I'm not sure what's the best solution here, should we make menu items responsive and put latest items to a more item if there's no room fo them? making Search bar smaller doesn't seems a proper fix.

Maybe this may work:
Automatically detect the width of the link area and send that value to the search bar for it to make itself expand just to that area.

I told this exact same solution at Flarum's core repo but they told me that you can do this from the extension side.

Don't do a "more" section because I would like to have a suggestion for the extension:
The support for dropdowns (sub-categories).
Just saying this for you to not do more because I want this for a long time :)

I opened an issue for this #12.

@sijad Just asking, is it possible to come up with a solution faster?
Some friends of mine are going to switch to Flarum and I don't want them to return back to their old software and keep using Flarum, this bug makes the visual design so bad and they will need this extension.
