Summary: Bookmarks sidebar cannot be resized in directory

OS: Linux

partially obscured names for entries in left sidebar of directory picker portal
SUMMARY
The sidebar for a directory picking portal cannot be resized left/right to
accommodate long names. The sidebar contains names of Places, Remote locations,
Recent locations, etc. Some may have long names and may be partially obscured
because of the fixed-width sidebar, and no way to remedy it by resizing it to
reveal the whole name. There is no tooltip to help see the obscured long name
of a place in the sidebar either.
This is for the directory picking portal and not the file picking portal. The
file picking portal has the capability to resize the sidebar and does not have
this problem.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. In flatpak ungoogled chromium, extensions page, click "Load unpacked"
2. "Select the extension directory. -- Portal" will appear
3. Put mouse at sidebar edge where sidebar meets the directory listing
OBSERVED RESULT
No resize mouse cursor will appear as there is no way to resize the sidebar.
The long names of entries in the sidebar will be indicated by ellipses
EXPECTED RESULT
Cursor should change to indicate resizing is available and possible to do.
Resizing the sidebar will reveal the long name in its entirety

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
- Clicking the entry in the sidebar will expand the filetree to reveal the
sidebar entry's path, but the name of the entry in the sidebar may not be
equivalent to the directory path for some entries.
- You can only interact with the latest opened directory picker portal. One at
a time. While testing, I opened multiple directory picker portals from
different flatpak applications (ungoogle chromium's load unpacked extension
directory picker portal, kate's open folder directory portal, obsidian's open
vault directory picker portal) and only the portal who was opened last was
interactable. This also happens with file picker portals when opened with
directory picker portals
- It is not easy to tell which portal belongs to which program. They do not
name the program, but rather give a program-specific window title instead.
Chromium says "Select the extension directory. -- Portal", Element (Matrix
client) says "Open Files. -- Portal" Kate says "Open directory. -- Portal" I
think. I'm not sure
