The words on the right side are covered by the scroll bar.

Please fix. Comments and other features don't load anymore unless I refresh the page. Very annoying to have to do this with every new video I watch. Disabling until fixed.

its a great extension, but the problem is, long comments are exceeding down under to scroolbar, so whenever i come to the end part of a line, it stands under scroolbar,so i am unable to read that part of the comment, btw this happens, if i use youtube when i am signed out...

Terrible app, does absolutely nothing and caused all kinds of problems, would definitely like a refund.

Was working fine, then all of a sudden playlists are set to loop/shuffle with no way to turn it off. This was the cause. And now you charge for something people relied on that was free. Who made the decisions here, Trump?

Great Extension but won't work unless you refresh the page. It's a pain to do it in every single video.

Is it possible to update the application? When I click on a video, the comments and information section does not load at all. I have to refresh the page a second time every time to fix it. It's been like this for a long time. Other than this problem, I enjoy using it.

This extension sets the volume of YouTube videos to 20% or 30% for some reason. Also, as others have pointed out, the comments aren't formatted to fit perfectly in the side. Description tab along with the comments and videos would be nice. The 20/30 volume thing is a big deal breaker for me, though maybe it's some kind of strange interaction with Linux or other extensions.

Comment rightmost words aren't readable and get covered by scroll bar.

Any plans to fix the issue everyone's been having? I love the layout, and this is the only extension that can do it (from what I could find), but it's a real pain having to refresh each new video to have the UI show up. It worked fine before (months ago), but it's been broken for quite a while now.

Bad experience recently where comments do not load always without refresh of page. It is very annoying. I will remove comment when fixed.

Comment Tab is very buggy. No comments are displayed and I have to refresh the Tab just to see comments. Very annoying.

please create a volume mouse thing as a global default. I need to disable it because it interferes with other plugins and I have to manually turn it off every single time.

This is probably perfect for 1080p monitors, but it looks silly on 1440p (large resolution monitors). The video player is the same size, and comment section stays the same size also. Leaving lots of empty "real estate" on the monitor to waste. Please make comment box and video player a little larger when you scale up in size?

The only disadvantage it doesn't auto-scroll on play lists.

Basically seems to work, but on the size/resolution of my screen, there is a ton of wasted page space. I'd like to be able adjust tab-panel's wideness, and how much vertical space is taken up.

the height of the comment box is too narrow. I can only see 2-3 comments in full screen and the bottom of the page is empty. I hope they make it better

It decreases the volume to %30 everytime you refresh. Please Fix

Amazing idea and I love the concept of it, but I can never read the replies to comments after I've loaded more comments. Whenever I try to click "view replies" it just wont open up, and I can't read the replies. This starts happening after I click load more comments.
