When the logs for a step in a stage are very long, it becomes difficult to re-collapse that step to look at another or get back to the top of the pipeline to select another stage/ parallel branch etc. Instead of expanding the whole page, I think it would be better to have the log be inside a scrollable window with a max height of the window height minus some border for example (perhaps with a corner to drag down like multi-line text boxes. This would make the whole page length only the length of the graph, plus steps, plus the one expanded step with a log window of say 40 lines instead of potentially thousands of lines long.
This would help with the issue outlined in JENKINS-41885 when trying to monitor the logs of a running pipeline.

added a comment - Appologies, I had a hunt through the tickets but didn't see anything. That sounds like a good solution, thanks!

Thanks for reporting!
inkychris our solution here is to make the "step header" stick to the top of the window as the log grows so it is only a quick mouse away to close. Take a look at
JENKINS-35864and let me know if this sounds good to you.
