Allow Widget Controller Label Width Adjustments (Vertical)

Widget controllers allow for the labeling of widgets within them. There is no possible way to adjust the size of this label box. When widgets are ordered horizontally, once can increase the spacing between them, effectively increasing the label box size. This is not applicable when widgets are ordered vertically. As a result, labels must be kept exceedingly short for vertically ordered widget controllers.

For reference, see this article: https://support.esri.com/en-us/knowledge-base/problem-labels-in-the-widget-controller-in-arcgis-exper-000031463. Esri explains a workaround for this issue, but this only works for horizontally ordered widgets.

See an example screenshot below. The default name of the "bookmarks" widget is too large to effectively label, despite the controller being plenty large enough to fit it, because the label box size does not adjust.

This seems to be dependent on the icon size at least, but I can't always use large icons, and this provides a small increase in the label box size at best.

Anyway, I'd just like to be able to adjust the label text box size.

@JoshBerna thanks for bringing this up. We're working on this to make the labels responsive to the customized width of the widget controller - users will be able to adjust the width to suit their preferences, and the labels will be displayed when there is enough space. Hope it helps.
