Push status is truncated

[gingerbeardman]

Please describe the problem you think should be solved

Push status is truncated in the narrow "tab" element:

There is lots of room in the window, the size of this tab seems artificially limited.

Workaround: mouse over to see tooltip. Not a great solution.

[Optional] Do you have any potential solutions in mind?

The "tab" should take up the whole available width.

@gingerbeardman thanks for the feedback! I'll also cross-reference #4569 which talks about making the branch switcher expand to fill the available space.

Given that rebasing is on the roadmap, it seems reasonable to re-examine this again as this is not ideal.

The end user should be provided with complete context upon first glance.

I was going to submit the same issue, good to see that I'm not the only one who noticed this. IMO it would be best to handle the Branch and Fetch/Push/Pull as dynamic columns that are each 50% of the available width.

Closing in favor of #17388 and #18095 is also open to address this.

@steveward I'm glad the problem has got some attention after 10,000 issues and 4+ years
