      Please, test both in Classic and Boost. In Classic, test the block on both sides.

      Setup

      1. Login as admin.
      2. Create a course C1.
      3. Create several activities/resources in C1, at least 4. Don't visit the activities.

      When adding the recently accessed items block to the drawer it shows a horizontal scroll. This is not ideal. 

      See options discussed here. (MDL-72092)

      The ideal solution is to stack 3 items vertically and add a show more link to load more.

      We should estimate the work involved in this to determine if this is feasible before starting QA. If not we will stick with the current block layout for 4.0, add it to the blocks drawer as is, and address this issue for 4.1.
