The edit panels of most of my FlexDash nodes somehow get a very wide minimum width. For example, for this FlexDash Container (grid or panel) config node the minimum width looks as follows:

How is this minimum width determined? How can I fix this? I don't want to set the width to some arbitrary value, I just would like the resizing handle to allow resizing to something much smaller.

I had similar issues with some of my nodes. The trick is to take care over the width of things like text elements. You will have to go through all of the on-screen elements using your browser dev tools to see which are not being constrained.
