Patch needs improvement: set

Current approach on PR is overly complex. A simpler CSS-only approach should be feasible using a media query to handle different display sizes.

I'm going to resolve this as wontfix.

The scrolling issue doesn't seem that bad: the left sidebar pauses independent scrolling at a point, scrolling in sync with the main section until reaching the bottom (of either) after that, so it's not 100% independent scrolling, but its OK. Perhaps it's Just what browsers do, and given #32204 we have the filter in-place now too, it's a minor glitch at worst.

In contrast the fixes are either too heavy (PR14281) or else have other display issues (PR15234) and so it's not clear there's a simple fix available (one that's really justified by the issue). Pending such actually showing up, I don't further effort here is the best use of time.

Happy to reopen to consider patches.
