Rob Stryker commented on JBIDE-19453:
-------------------------------------

Unfortunately we don't control the minimum width of the column.  Theoretically we could make it wider by simply adding a very large widget and forcing it wider, but, then it'd become inconvenient for the user to properly fit both columns on the screen wtihout a scrollbar, so that's not really a good solution. 

I've made a commit that lowers the minimum size of the server-home text field from 200 down to 150, and i've put the minimum width of the base-dir field down to 100.   The fields will still expand to fill whatever space is left after the browse button and label are placed, if there is any extra... but it basically means that those text fields are 'able' to be squished, so long as they don't shrink below 150 and 100 pixels respectively. 

So if for some reason your font size throughout your entire workspace is huge, and the labels on the left side take up the entire widget, then you'll still be shit-out-of-luck and be unable to see the browse button. Unfortunately, this is more a problem with the scrollbars than anything. 

See https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=464223 for more information.

> Today I noticed this. When I set up a remote server and then open it in the Server editor, the part under Server Behavior where it shows the remote host configuration (e.g. Remote Server Home) does not fix - it needs more space to the right, but it's hidden and there is no way to scroll to view it.

> The same problem applies to both JBDS 8.1.0.Beta1 and JBDS 9.0.0.Alpha1. So you may want to clone this for 4.3.x.
