screenshot of the dictionary selection menu

version: 3.20.0+28+g7dce582

Press the button left of the text-search field to open a list of dictionaries.
Its content is almost not readable, since its horizontal size is very small. (see attached screenshot)

The menu should open at a bigger size or at least be resizable.

Came here to file this bug.

I am running fedora 25 with gnome-dictionary version 3.20.0 and have the same problem.

The bug is as above: list of available dictionaries is too narrow and not resizeable.

There is horizontal scrolling but that severely reduces usability.
