Left panel i BOINC Manager shouldn't have constant width, becouse sometimes captions of the buttons are lenght and it cause that parts of buttons are covered up by for example: project list.
I think that the solution is:
- change the constant width of left panel to minimal width with same value;
- enable panel resize;
- add "if" condition: if button width is longer than 170px (that te default width of button) change panel width by actual button width - 170px.
I hoped that my logic help even just a little.
I attached sample screenchot.
And finally sorry for my bad english!
