Better Build History data layout

[Tom Fennelly]

Hi.

A number of issues have been raised in JIRA over the last while regarding the Build History Widget and how the layout can go a bit "screwy" as more data gets cluttered in it. Here's a few of the JIRAs. The main problem stems from the fact that Jenkins tries to cram too much info into 1 narrow row in the build history widget. It get's especially bad when long build names or descriptions are used. Lots of badges can also cause things to look funny.

I did some work in an effort to improve the situation here, creating Pull Request #1470.

The PR has details of the changes I made so no point in repeating that info here. PLEASE get this code if you can and give it a try, letting us know if it fixes things for you and (especially) if it introduces new quirks.

Regards,

Tom.

I'll be pushing PR #1470 if I don't hear anything. Would be good if people could try it and let us know if there are any issues. Daniel Beck has already tested it loads already (thanks Daniel).
