Lighttable - width of collections panel

For some time now, the Collections panel can no longer be dragged to any width. The folder names are only partially displayed as shown framed in red in the screenshot. Is there any trick to widen the panel or is this intentional? I am on Linux darktable git v5.1.0+9~g71233fe

Tried to reproduce somehow on 5.1.0+9~g71233fe6c4 but without success.
Mouse-hovering over the edge between the central view and the left panel should result in a mouse-handle to adjust the size of the left panel. Are you certain, that this is not the case?

Putting that aside: you may adjust the panel size by setting the value of
lighttable/ui/1/left_size
lighttable/ui/2/left_size
lighttable/ui/3/left_size
in your darktablerc to the desired size.
Note, that this requires a restart of the application.

Yes, the maximum width of the panel is shown in the screenshot. Your suggestion to edit the value in darktablerc
lighttable/ui/1/left_size=
to value 645 (in my case) solved the issue. Thank you very much.
