Congratulations on the latest release!

Do you recommend specific minimum IFRAME dimensions to avoid scrollbars appearing on the canvas and toolbars in 2.3?

Hi @robtree,

minimum height of IFrame should be 700 px to hide all visible scrolls. The reason of showing them is the fact that panels have been extended by new tools (Enhanced Stereochemistry button added to right panel and Text tool added to Left panel). As a workaround you can override behavior by your own styles but please be aware that Ketcher team is working on redesign of our peorduct so I guess new user-friendly approach to show toolbars will be provided in the nearest releases.

Best regards,
Andrei
