Inconsistent widths within topics

[Dll]

I understand this is configurable, but it makes no sense that the default behaviour  of the software is to have a different page width for posts within topics based on whether it has less than or greater than 3 pages. Obviously, having a topic summary when there are just a few posts makes little sense, so I get the reasoning but it makes for a very inconsistent ui, which displays a lack of planning or consideration around what is actually best for the user, readability of topics and so on.

Has anyone looked into whether having the sidebar or not makes any difference in terms of the readability, the time spent within topics or anything along those lines?

I do agree it would look more uniform if all the pages were consistent 👍
