Your theory is probably right. After deleting all "Perspective-*"
entries from the registry, the Connection bar is now broader. The new
size works just fine.
BTW: would it be an option to let the user adjust the size or even
auto-adjust to the longest entry? (Just ideas.)
After closing pgAdmin a new entry "perspective-8316" landed in the
registry. I paste it here, in case you should need it.
Those should be vanilla values, I only checked on the size of the
Connection bar and did not make any adjustments.
