Bug Description
Currently the application tabs ("Overview, "Code", "Bugs", etc) are a fixed width. People using Launchpad often enlarge the text, which makes the text in these tabs (particularly "Translations") wider than the tabs themselves.
It would be nifty if the tabs had their current size set as a minimum, but expanded dynamically to suit the labels inside them. One way of achieving this is the Sliding Doors technique. <http://

This has become more noticeable with the larger text size introduced in 1.1.8.
On my screen the "Translations" tab is now too narrow for the text it contains. This might be because of the fonts specified in my system configuration.
