Description

I notice that the 3.9 beta1 version has columns that can be resized (though I'm finding this pretty buggy, especially in Safari). This is good but the one section that I'd really like to be able to resize is the Facet/Filter side bar. In many of the projects I work on, the 'choices' in the facets are actually my main result, so it would be great to be able to make this section a little wider when values are long and wrapping.
