I am suspecting fonts as that field seems to be auto-resizing on my system to show the maximum number of characters required for the library in use.

Ran some quick "tests" with other fonts...
I use Microsoft's Verdana everywhere to get that consistent look'n feel across applications and the problem crops up when I specify a fontsize of less than 8pts in Calibre's preferences.
I switched to Arial (~Helvetica) and also Tahoma (a narrow version of Verdana) and the problem does not occur.
The problem now is that I want to stick with Verdana everywhere decision (most legible font at small sizes on low-res devices such as computer screens) and 8pts is a tad too large — does not let me display enough data on Calibre's main screen.
This shouldn't happen... especially with such a widely-used font as Verdana.
Not sure what the procedure is but I guess I should report this as a Calibre bug...?
Thanks,
