I tried to make the Object Inspector panel width narrrower but it seems like it has a minimum that cannot be reduced past. Is this the case?

I really do not remember this happening pre-1.6 release. I run Lazarus on a 1400x900 screen so I have to adapt the pane sizes accordingly.

A quick test:
In 1.6RC2 the minimum width is about 233 pixels whereas in 1.6 it is more like 430 pixels. That is a rather big part of my total width...

It turns out tha the code editor has also been provided with a rather big minimum width! It is such thta I cannot set the code editor and Object Inspector to fit the screen side by side. THere is a big overlap tha cannot be reduced.
How did this happen?

No idea, I can reduce the width of OI to almost zero on Windows.

I just installed lazarus 1.6 in a Linux Mint 17 (Cinnamon) virtual machine on my laptop.
In this environment I can also size the different windows fully. So the problem I reported must be due to the platform it is installed on (Raspbian Jessie on a Raspberry Pi2 in this case).

Note that the sizing is a problem both via remote connection (TightVNC) and directly with the monitor hooked to the Rpi2.

Strange problem....
