Pane size in phpMyAdmin

[Dwayne]

phpMyAdmin sometimes (but not always) chooses to split the browser
equally between the two panes (database list on left and workspace on
right). This is a tremendous waste of real estate, since the database
list really only needs a small space (as it is sometimes given). Is
there a way to control the size of the left pane?

You have the source. Change it.

I'd guess you can change this line in config.inc.php:

$cfg['LeftWidth'] = 150; // left frame width


Though if you say it's only happening occasionally, then it could be a bug, or
it could be that you're accidentally clicking and dragging the frame border. In
that case you might try playing with this line in index.php (try removing the
border and/or frame border or hard coding your desired width):

echo ' document.writel n(\'<frameset cols="' . $cfg['LeftWidth'] . ',*"
rows="*" border="1" frameborder="1" framespacing="0 ">\');'
. "\n";
