Description

While manually testing the new WebUI I found a few frictions.

• when using the UI the left panel hides unexpectedly at random moments
• mouse wheel does not work on the logs (taskmanager, jobmanager) pane
• the jobmanager configuration is not sorted
• different sorting of the operators (the old UI showed the sources first)
• the drop-down list for choosing operator/tasks metrics is not sorted, which makes it super hard to screen through available metrics
• arrow does not touch the rectangles in Chrome (see attached screenshot)

There are also some views missing in the new UI that I personally found useful in the old UI:

• can't see watermarks for all operators at once
• no numeric metrics (only graphs)
