Q. Is there a way of displaying the detail view for an issue below the board, rather then next to it?

A lot of our staff have a monitor in portrait mode.  This means that when an issue is selected the whole board and the detail view gets squeezed to display.  With a monitor in portrait mode, the ability to control where the detail view appears would be very useful.

I have a portrait monitor and a sprint board with five columns, and it was getting uncomfortably narrow. I couldn't find any feature of Jira that let me change this, but I was able to move the detail view below the board with custom CSS in my web browser:

#ghx-pool-column, #ghx-detail-view {
    display: table-row;
}

#ghx-detail-view {
    height: 450px; /* change me if desired */
}

#ghx-pool-column {
    height: 100%;
}

#ghx-detail-contents {
    border-top: 1px solid #ccc;
    border-left: none;
    border-bottom: none;
}

#js-detail-nav-content #DETAILS {
    display: table-cell;
    width: 400px;
}

#js-detail-nav-content #DESCRIPTION {
    display: table-cell;
    vertical-align: top;
} 

I'm not a front-end dev, and this CSS might be broken in ways I haven't discovered. YMMV

Your browser probably requires that you install a plugin to set the custom CSS. I use Stylish on Chrome, but there are others.

I had a quick try, kind of worked, but I need to come back to this when I get more time
