I'm not sure when this started but the reference box shrinks when the window gets smaller. I often use small windows and I'd rather see a full reference than anything else on the tool bar. This is very annoying to me. It even shrinks before it runs out of empty toolbar space. See the various sizes:

Reminds me of an episode of Seinfeld... nevermind.

I remember that episode. George was barking about interlinears in the ... oh wait.
Agree on ref-box size being sized to available space. Esp since they don't abbrev the reference.

Even when the space was gone, I'd rather lose the adjacent buttons than the reference box size. I can always temporarily expand the window if I need to click a button, but the reference box is displaying info that I always want to see.
Totally OT, but I was reviewing my panels to see all the variation in 'squishing up' reference-box policies.
Interestingly 'Search' (huh?) in the Cited-By panel refuses to be squished or scrolled.
In fact 'Search' will destroy the reference box before giving up even a single letter. Tough boy.
I'd bet most people don't even know about instant reference searches.
