Portlets should be flexibly sized to accommodate larger fonts.

Bug Description
Launchpad portlets are fixed in width. Users of Launchpad often enlarge the text, which makes the text in these portlets wider than the portlets themselves.
It would be ideal if portlets had their current widths set as a minimum, but expanded dynamically to accommodate the text inside them.

This problem has become more apparent with the increased text size introduced in 1.1.8.
For example, see https:/ /bugs.staging. launchpad. net/firefox/ +bug/86002, or the attached screen shot.
In the example, the strings "Search firefox (upstream)" and "Subscribers to bug 86002" are too wide for their containing portlets.
