New Issue View - not very responsive

Question

I thought the new issue view in Jira was going to be properly responsive, so the issue view would spread over the whole page where possible.

My new issue view uses perhaps just 60% of the page.  Seems a waste when many items on the page are shortened and comments are wrapped more (i.e. need to scroll down) due to lack of space.

Hi @Mark Wheeler

You can move some of the fields on the right-hand side into the main area using Tabs!

* Go to Project Settings > Screens
* Select a screen
* Add a Tab to the screen, and move fields into it

These fields will then show in Tabs on the larger, main area rather than all down the right-hand side.

You can also make almost all fields show in a left-hand tab by placing an empty tab before the default "General" tab on a screen.
