Responsive Behaviour of Window
Illustrated below is the Settings window in the standard display mode, showing both the Settings menu items (left sub-panel) and the properties configuration panel for the selected item (right sub-panel).
In the compact display mode for narrower displays, the window responds by displaying the left-hand sub-panel of menu items only. From here, clicking a menu item displays the right sub-panel of configuration properties only. From there, clicking the button switches to the left sub-panel.
