Newly created files are hidden in OnlineGDB and I cannot open them

I am using OnlineGDB for C++ coding.
When I create too many files, the file panel on the left does not show a scrollbar. Because of this, the newest files I just created are hidden below the visible area, and I cannot open them again.

How can I access or reopen the newly created files if they are hidden in the file list?

Yes, this is an existing problem.

I don't believe OnlineGDB was designed to handle many files.

You can reduce the impact by

  • maximizing your window
  • closing any unnecessary side panels
  • changing the zoom in your browser temporarily so you can click the tab you want, then change it back (<Ctrl>+<mouse scroll> can do it rather quickly).
Perhaps the owners will address this issue and make the file list scrollable in the future.

Check first if the files were saved in the correct directory.
