wasted space

I have a laptop with small screen 15.6" and when I open some sub-categories in system settings it's appears really crowded and there is no left space for the target view that I want to use. For example if open font management I end up with 5 columns in the view where only the last column at right that I want to use. See attached image for more info.
What I mean is that when I click on sub category the left side can be hidden and back button appear at top to return to top level.
This behavior exists when I minimize settings window at certain size, but it would be cool to have it for even maximized setting window.
See attached video for more info.

The absurd number of list views is mostly a UX bug in the font management KCM because it has three of its own, but I don't think there's really a real bug here. You can avoid maximizing the window and then the two on the left will be collapsed into just one.
