I will go slightly out of my way to step on that crunchy looking leaf.

  • (you can disable it but you don’t get the space back)

    This can certainly be annoying. But if you think about it from a UX perspective, what would happen if you could?

    What happens if you disable it, use the space, and then enable it again?

    Where does everything go that you placed there?

    Does it just shift down? What if it can’t because of other content on the page? Do you just shift it to a new page? What if there is content in the way across multiple pages? Does that all get shifted to a jumbled mess on a new page?

    What if you just didn’t let the user enable it again unless the space was cleared? Would that be too confusing for less capable users?

    Sometimes UX designers do seemingly dumb things for very smart reasons.
