I'm not able to reproduce this (at least not the blank space pictured on the right). Do you have any custom CSS in the CP? Or maybe a custom widget?

It's worth noting that at the moment those grid columns are handled by javascript and only calculated once on load. We'll likely be refactoring that in 6.

Here's a video of it in Chrome 145.0.7632.45. It's been like this for a quite a while.

I'll leave it up to you if it's worth fixing. Definitely not the end of world (once you know the fix, though it's just the dashboard).

I think the key is to start much wider than the content.
