Comment (by ajensen):

 Hello,

 I’ve added a patch with @srikat  CSS code as well as @galbaras
 suggestions.  I found the two independent scrolling areas to be more
 efficient then the previous layout with both a small and large number of
 widgets in the left column.  I also asked a friend to use it and she found
 it to be easy and functioning.  Although it worked on my viewport size I
 was not able to test it on larger screens.


 Also I was unable to understand and implement @galbaras’s suggestions
 where he says
 "removing the assignment of margin-left to some negative number when the
 widget is opened, which is done in a script"


 Lastly, this is my first patch.
