Comment bubbles and Track Changes overlap document text in narrow/split-screen windows

Do you want to: Suggest a feature / Report a bug

For feature suggestions, describe the result you would like to achieve in detail: I would like the document editor to behave similarly to Microsoft Word or LibreOffice regarding the page layout when comments or track changes are active. Currently, in OnlyOffice, the page remains centered, causing the comment balloons to float over the text when the window is narrow (e.g., split-screen).

The desired result is for the entire page to automatically offset/shift to the left of the workspace, creating a dedicated “gutter” or margin on the right for balloons so they never obscure the document content, regardless of the window width.

For bug reports, provide the steps to reproduce and if possible a minimal demo of the problem:

  1. Open a document in OnlyOffice.
  2. Resize the window to half-screen or a narrow width.
  3. Add several comments or turn on “Track Changes.”
  4. Observe how the comment balloons/balloons overlap the right side of the text, making it impossible to read the document content while reviewing.

Document Server version: 8.0.1 (or the version currently shown in your “About” section)

Type of installation of the Document Server: Flatpak (via Flathub)

OS: Fedora Kinoite (Atomic/Immutable Linux)

Browser version: N/A (Using Desktop Editors)

Additional information: I am using the Desktop Editors on a Linux system with a blue-themed UI. The overlap happens consistently on displays where I need to work in side-by-side windows. No custom proxy or modified config files are being used. I have attached an image showing the red-redacted areas where the balloons block the text.
