Currently, the request list when shrunken down to the minimum allowed size, unnecessary space is taken by always keeping space for the drop-down chevron icon.
Here is how it currently looks like with the focus on the request name and the icon displayed:
![0](https://github.com/Kong/insomnia/assets/20520590/d38c95bf-8641-449c-810c-c9d5abc34ea0)
And even if the icon is not displayed, request names are truncated even though there would be enough space for full name:
![select-20240516-203009](https://github.com/Kong/insomnia/assets/20520590/8b4e8085-a773-4456-a177-97bee0384c3c)
Please save the usable space and allow users to further shrink request list without names becoming truncated by overlaying drop-down icon over titles instead.
Here is an example how it can work without dedicated space for the icon:

And if user focuses any request, only then the menu is overlayed over the entry name:
