Text and other things don't fit in left menu on KDE Connect

SUMMARY

Text and other things don't fit in left menu on KDE Connect.

Look at the attached screenshot.

There's more than enough space to increase the width on the left menu and let other items and text fit better and not be cut off.


STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1.  Plug in a 1080p 27" Monitor
2.  Set Scale to 50%
3.  Set Font Size to 23pt
4. Open KDE Connect
5. Look at it

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

This is the same issue as bug 508595. When applying 16 point font size or greater, the System Settings - font page has a warning at this stage "Very large fonts may produce odd looking results. Instead of using a very large font size, consider adjusting the global screen scale". This is, unfortunately, a limitation of the window manager code.

We discovered that Adjust All Fonts doesn't show the warning, bug 508738 has been filed for that.
