Description Vincent Noel 2005-07-20 18:11:53 UTC 
The sidebar title is in two part : on the left you can see which component is
active (e.g. "Mail" or "INBOX"), and on the right, in smaller characters, the
item is described (e.g. "176 total").

If you resize the sidebar to make it smaller, the first part ("Mail") gets
ellipsized, while the second ("176 total") does not. So the minimum size of the
side pane is decided by the item description width. In the case of the mailer,
this is ok ("176 total" is not very long), but if you switch the calendar
component, the item description is the date (e.g. "Wednesday 20 Jul 2005"), so
the sidebar is pretty wide. If you switch back to the Mail component, the
sidebar cannot be made smaller anymore.

It would make sense to ellipsize the item description as well as the component
label.

Comment 2 André Klapper 2006-01-23 13:48:59 UTC 
...or does it depend on the width of the 5 component buttons at the left bottom in 2.5.5?
Comment 3 Srinivasa Ragavan 2006-02-16 18:23:22 UTC 
Vincent is right. It depends on that text.
Comment 4 Calum Benson 2006-08-14 15:22:07 UTC 
If this is the same bug that means I can't make the sidebar as wide as I'd like it to be (I can't read most of my folder names, and hence the number of unread mails in those folders), then the priority needs to be raised-- it's a killer.
Comment 5 Calum Benson 2006-08-14 15:26:06 UTC 
(If it is the same bug, the current workaround seems to be to maximize the app... but I really don't want a maximized mail application on my desktop.)

Bumping version to a stable release.

for evolution;

I thought it will be a hack, but finally Mathias showed me there is a correct way how to obtain layout from the label, so no hack, correct solution.
