[MD Bookmarks feedback] Reduce the left padding of each bookmark folder in left sidebar

Reported by loorong...@gmail.com, Dec 7 2017

Issue description

UserAgent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/63.0.3239.84 Safari/537.36

Steps to reproduce the problem:
1. Open chrome://bookmarks
2. Have deep bookmark folders with long descriptive name.

What is the expected behavior?

What went wrong?
As bookmark folder goes deeper, it goes far to the right, so eventually some folders will have their names truncated.

Did this work before? Yes Chrome 62 (MD Bookmarks not yet enabled by default)

Chrome version: 63.0.3239.84  Channel: stable
OS Version: 10.0
Flash Version: 

Of course, user can always adjust sidebar to be wider, but there is a limit of this, beyond which the page will just looks funny.

For each folder with daughter folders, it will have a expand/collapse icon and a folder icon, eating even more space.

Chrome 63 was only released very recently, so far there is only one negative user feedback I can see in Chrome help forum.
 
Attaching screenshot with comments.

Random idea:

1) Use one folder icon with 4 states (non-selected + expanded, non-selected + collapsed, selected + expanded, selected + collapsed) instead of one folder icon and one expand/collapse icon can help.

2) Reduce font size, height and padding for folders and bookmarks.

Overall I like the look of new design, but the size issue is real.

Able to reproduce this issue on reported version 63.0.3239.84 and on latest canary 65.0.3287.0 using Ubuntu 14.04, Windows 10 and Mac 10.13.1 with steps mentioned in comment#0

This issue is seen from the introduction of MD-Bookmarks. Hence considering this issue as Non-regression and marking as Untriaged.

Could someone from UI>Browser>Bookmarks  team take a look into this issue.

Thanks!
The extreme VERTICAL white-space padding of the folders is the most pressing issue here.

With the horizontal white-space padding, the sidebar can be dragged bigger and it remembers its enlarged state. But this is not the case for vertical scrolling. On smaller laptop screens (which are all 16:9, 16:10), there is already limited vertical space to work with and this change to Bookmarks makes having to scroll the sidebar a constant occurrence.

Please reduce the VERTICAL white-space between folders. There is just a lot of totally unnecessary wasted space there forcing needless sidebar scrolling. The v62 folder layout was more compact and a lot more usable and interaction-friendly.

 Issue 794572  has a screenshot with even more extreme deep folder structure.

The indent is still enormous.

This issue is still reproducible on latest canary #72.0.3615,0, adding appropriate labels.
