Hi Ed, Tim, could you please triage this bug? SoftVision sign off report mentioned this as a potential reason to consider AS yellow (not ready to go live) in their sign off report.

Surely this can be better, but we should recognize that the browser itself isn't useful at that size. (see attachment) Arguably the browser min-width should be adjusted wider.

Besides this whole menu is slated to be removed and relocated into the application preferences. Its inclusion on this page was always a temporary move.

let's not fix, and instead work on its replacement.
