Bookmarks - width of menu adjusts to longest bookmark name

Description of the issue: In every Bookmark folder the width of the list is automatically set to the length of the longest bookmark name. Was not like that before the update!
How can this issue be reproduced? No special things to do - just open the browser and choose a bookmark folder from the bookmark list.

Brave Version( check About Brave): 1.77.95

Additional Information:
Need an option to deactivate this.

Man what is going on with Brave?!? Why are these issues surfacing one after the other? The vertical spacing issue and now a horizontal issue. My bookmarks are massively fat now!

This looks horrible. Please fix this ASAP! It makes using bookmark bar links unusable since the folder now covers half my screen!

With lots of bookmarks, and folders within folders, this feature is just, why? Who wants this? Hope this gets addressed and fixed soon.

Yes , Major problem using the hidden extra bookmarks drop down menu! I run Windows 10 and Linux mint and this programming glitch is a real problem. Hope some programmer a t Brave will see and correct this.

+1 here, did anyone create a github issue for that? if not, we can do from this link:

Since the last update I often missclick on random bookmarks when trying to view the contents of my bookmark subfolders. I will attach an animated gif with a recording of my screen so the Brave staff can better understand the seriousness of this issue

brave bookmarks wrong width

I assume those with a screen like this will be able to deal with it :sweat_smile:

It’s still not good. Why can’t it be like it used to be? Who wanted this change?

sharing the same sentiment as the 3 other recent replies. the width is still too wide after the recent update and takes up a lot of screen space. you could just bookmark things fine before and now you’ll have to change the bookmark name every time to make sure it fits

Couldn’t the developers make the bookmarks menu width customizable from the settings?
I mean, if you want a 500px width, you can set it as such.

Another thing you could do is detect the user’s default screen resolution. If they’re using a laptop or a 4:3 monitor (still used in many offices) set an auto width of 400px or less, and if they’re using an ultrawide monitor, gradually add a wider width.

My Brave Update to 1.77.97

All bookmarks are now the same size.
But i think they are bigger than before.
I would prefer a smaller size, like before but it"s ok like that. Much better than the random size.
Maybe it will fixe to the regular size in a futur update but it’s nor a probleme is it’s stay like that.

Anyway, thanks Brave team and @Evan123 for reactivity.

Appreciate you guys applying a fix for this so quickly. Like others, would like to see further customizations to bookmarks lists, but this will do for now. Thanks again!
