Come together with the global Drupal community in Rotterdam, 28 Sept – 1 Oct 2026. Sessions, contribution, connection, and Early Bird savings until 8 June.When I add the "Who's online" block to the right sidebar it resizes to about 50% of the area that the left sidebar does not occupy. Filling the content with enough text it doesn't resolve the issue. This is most likely an error in the style sheet. I hope to be able to investigate more tonight.
NB, the site I'm building is not reachable from the internet.

Marcel.de.Haas commentedThe problem only seems to exist on <front>. All other pages display the sidebar with the borders at a nice width.

This is intentional. The sidebars display somewhat differently on the home page. The main reason for this behavior is that the "Innovation News" installation profile uses this style to display content in a newspaper-like format. See screenshot below:

The basic idea is that the home page acts differently from all of the other pages. When I use this theme, I display different content on the home page than I do on the rest of the pages. So that could be one solution for you, only display the "Who's online" on pages that are not the front page.
I was hesitant to include this "feature" because I figured it might be less than ideal to some users. Now that you understand why this is happening, do you still request that this feature is changed? If so, I'll look into ways to improve this.
