Description David Gene 2022-01-07 15:37:52 UTC 
SUMMARY
It appears that the new animation timeline in 5.0 has a minimum width on it. On my 1366x768 monitor, switching to the animation workspace with the onion skin docker enabled causes the window to become so wide that it cannot be contained on a single screen.

Attached are two screenshots, one of the whole window, the other of the portion that fits onto my screen.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Open Krita 5.0
2. Switch to the animation workspace and enable onion skin in the animation docker if not already on

OBSERVED RESULT
The animation + onion skin dockers cause the window to be too wide to fit on a 1366x768 monitor.

EXPECTED RESULT
The timeline docker doesn't seem to need the space to fit controls, so the extra padding feels arbitrary. The extra space should be removed.

Sorry, but for the default animation workspace you need a higher resolution than the minimum that can (sort of) work for painting. You can try to create your own custom animation workspace.
