Problem Description

Some issue has been bugging me with Spyder 4, is that a certain point I cannot decrease the size of the variable explorer window tab, with the tab where the code being too small to read the code.

What steps reproduce the problem?

1. Happens usually when I have a lot of variables in the variable explorer tab
2. I increase its size, cannot decrease it back

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

Ability to shift the variable tab more to the right of the screen (i.e. decrease it’s width). As you see in the picture below, basically the width of the variable explorer tab is almost as big as that of the code tab and this cannot be decreased (by pulling the separator to the right).

Paste Traceback/Error Below (if applicable)

NA

Thanks @bcolsen for nailing this.

Glad you found a workaround @kaleb-keny 😅

We should probably provide the same minimum (reasonable) width for all plugins to avoid running into this issue in the future and with other layout configurations.

Let me know if I can help, thanks for having a look
