Since two blank spaces aren't a percentage width, I attached lookwhathappens.jpg. One's by the right of Add, Languages, Extensions. The other's by the right of the extension names.

wide screen - it's 1680, but I use 1440 to zoom
tree style tabs - on left, always visible
slim add-on manager - removes bloat
add-on compatibility reporter (by the way, Compatibility and arrow down only appears in add-on manager when I click an other category like Plugins, then go back to Extensions, by the way too, add-ons and plugins or add-ons and plug-ins or addons and plugins?)

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. install tree style tabs, add-on compatibility reporter, slim add-on manager
2. make the screen resolution be 1440 x 900
3. Tools -> Add-ons

Actual Results:  
add-on manager becames hard to navigate, having to go scroll right and left lots of times to read names and take actions

Expected Results:  
add-on manager becomes easy to navigate, having to scroll only up and down

Fonts are proportional 16 and monospaced 12.

An alternative solution is to make the action buttons appear below the extension names.

Sounds like a bug caused by tree style tabs. If you can reproduce this without tree style tabs open then please reopen.
