Rider left column is constantly changing size and it's driving me crazy
So far the Rider (and probably others jetbrains IDE) have been nothing but torture, from horribly harassing auto completion, hint poping everywhere etc, and now the left column (the one that contains line number) is constantly changing its size depending on what it is displaying, which is constantly changing.
Do you guys ever thought about hiring an UX professional ?
Do you guys ever though about hiring people on the spectrum ?
I'm not opening a ticket, because I know you don't give a damn about them, leaving essential tickets opened for YEARS with no update. Just opening this thread to vent and tell you I'm more and more inclined to go back to Visual Studio and freaking ECLIPSE for other languages has working on rider is just becoming an more and more horrendous experience every-time for someone who has attention deficit and needs calm to focus.
PLEASE GET IT TOGETHER.
Message to management: No one cares about you adding more and more functionalities when you are basically ruining UX for everyone. FIX YOUR TECHNICAL DEBT.

Hello Zangdaarr Mortpartout, thank you for your feedback. I shared it with my colleagues, we'll see what can be done here.
New delirium update is line numbers are now in inverted order, but if you place your cursor the above lines number will be in decreasing order and the below will be in increasing order with the number at the line with the cursor being the actual line number.
I really love doing treasure hunt to find the error line reported in my stacktrace ! So much fun and not at all a waste of time !
Why you guys are doing and also why you are forcing those changes this is beyond my abilities to comprehend, but you seriously need to change your lack of tests culture.
Hello Zangdaarr Mortpartout, thanks for your reply. What value do you have set for File | Settings | Editor | General | Appearance | Show line numbers? Is it Hybrid? If so, could you please try changing it to Absolute? Does it help?
I have the same problem. My code keeps constantly moving left and right a little. There's a column with line numbers, a column with lightbulbs/hammers and the code.
But when I move my cursor there, a new column with breakpoints appears which moves the code a few pixels to the right.
Every now and then it gets thinner again (I still don't know when) and then the whole process repeats, multiple times per hour.
Lukasz Przestrzelski Do you have any plugins installed that inject new icons in the gutter? Have a check with disable all downloaded plugins to see if there is any improvement.
Also, please have a try with latest Rider version. If you still have the problem, please reproduce the issue and collect the full log bundle, upload the file to our server and share the ID. I will help to check further.
I had only one downloaded plugin, GitToolBox, disabling it doesn't change anything. Here's log:

I've also made a movie to demonstrate the problem. It occurs whenever I open a new file, but it affects all the other open files.

I don't even click anywhere on the “line numbers column”. I just move my mouse there and it happens. It's quite frustrating.
Lukasz Przestrzelski I confirmed the issue happens in the latest Rider, I'm checking the problem with our UI developers.
There is a workaround: enable “Breakpoints Over Line Numbers”. Then you should not see the gutter width changes again.
I know, this was the default behavior (I installed Rider first time a month ago), but I'm used to select rows by clicking on the number and I prefer the old way, even with this resizing.
The issue is reproduced. We apologize for the inconvenience.
I filed a ticket RIDER-122051, the further updated will be posted to our tracker. Please upvote to follow the updates.
