Thank you for your bug. What else behaviour would you prefer? Not allowing user to move the frame when the text touchs the border?

Sebastien: Thank you for noticing the bug. :)
It would be great if it works like the side-pane in gEdit aka Text Editor - part of the text is hidden followed by "...".

Along with the provision to fully slide the pane to the border like in Nautilus, so that F9/Ctrl+T need not be pressed every time the side-pane is needed.

The gedit way impose a limitation, I'm not sure that's better for the users, what is wrong with having the choice to truncate the text if you want to move the sidebar? Would you prefer to not let the option to user who would like to use it?

Confirming after IRC discussion, some coherence between GNOME applications would be nice there
