Yeah apparently looking at your screenshots GTK2 does a "better" job with underallocation (when a control is given less space than its minimal requested size). There's not much we can do about that, save being careful which widgets we use in the sidebar -- but plugins can go there, which I believe is the case in your example.
BTW, this is likely to be affected by a lot of theme details, including you using a monospaced font everywhere, which likely takes more space than other fonts. Not saying it's a problem, just that might be one of the many contributing factors -- yet the root cause being the sidebar gets less width than it asked for, and doesn't behave so well in this case. -- You are receiving this because you are subscribed to this thread.
