The dialog size really could use being increased to take better advantage of the screen space, and if the width is increased the width of the left side can be increased too. It's really cramped in 720p:

@rollerozxa the width of interface dialogs in Minetest seems to be always based on the height of the window, with a constant aspect ratio.

Underlying problem is the same as #4607 (formspecs not caring about the size of text)
