1547984 - [remote-dbg-next] Reduce the width of the about:debugging sidebar

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(DevTools :: about:debugging, defect, P1)

Description

[Julian Descottes [:jdescottes]]

We just increased the width of the sidebar in order to avoid cropping the Device/Runtime name in too many cases, especially when the Connect button is displayed.

With the previous width (240px), we used to crop as names such as "localhost:6000" to "localhost:6...". In usual Firefox dev environment it's frequent to connect to various localhost:6XXX, so users should be able to easily identify which Sidebar item corresponds to which port.

We increased the width from 240px to 320px, but that leaves a lot of empty space in the Sidebar.

We are considering reducing it 260px or 280px, which will still allow to see localhost:6000 in full.
