    Description

      On a full HD screen with both sidebars open, the VCS commit window has approx. optimal size on Windows (you can see 72 chars on one line until it gets wrapped).

      On Linux though, the same window size causes the line to be wrapped at 65 chars.

      In case the sidebars consume more space or Creator is not in fullscreen mode, the commit window is even smaller.

      The commit message is automatically wrapped, but that only makes sense if the window allows to see full the line length.

      There are two options to consider:

      1. Make the font on Linux smaller so it is comparable to Windows
      2. Make the commit window / file selection splitting asymmetric so the commit window gains more space
