Resizing a container by dragging its start point

Posted

We can resize a container by dragging its end point. I would appriciate it, if we also could shorten the container at the start point of the container. Is there a specific reason, why that's not possible?

Basically not a problem. The challenge is that, while containers may have any length, they are not allowed to start before their parent container.

Not an unbearable challenge, I think. Two possible solutions:  

  • if the starting point of the parent container is dragged beyond the starting point of the child container the starting point of the child container could be shortened automatically 
    or
  • the dragging process only goes up to the starting point of the child container. In the latter case, the child container must then be shortened manually first to the desired length.

Both variants would be ok for me. Better than any workaround anyway.
