The environments dropdown is currently set to fit to text. The mouse does change to arrows
if you hover the left border, which would indicate I should be able to resize the dropdown, but it doesn’t actually work.

Welcome to the Postman Community! 
Appreciate you sharing this issue, I’ve raised it with the team.
To me, it looks like a regression but I’ll check and keep you updated. 
I’ve been having the same issue ever since this feature was added for some reason.
Once I have too many tabs open, which isn’t very many, the UI forces the ENV dropdown to collapse rather than preserving it and having the user scroll tabs, as needed.
This is not only unwanted behavior but dangerous behavior, because the last thing a developer wants to do is submit a destructive request to a PRODUCTION endpoint thinking they’re hitting a QA or DEV endpoint.
Is there a way to fix this so I can always see the selected ENV in the drop down? Or can the original behavior please be restored?
In future, please please please give users the option to switch to new layouts that can affect user experience or workflow. Frankly, unless something is broken in the UI, there’s literally no reason to change it, but if you’re going to do it anyway, allow us a choice … because everyone’s needs are not the same.
Thanks!
@danny-dainton any update since you last posted on this topic?
There has been a fix for the resizing added to the latest version.
Do you use colours for your environments, even if the dropdown was an icon, it would still show the colour to give an indication as to which environment is selected.
You could also pin environments to a specific collection, choosing a default that gets auto selected and a user would need to explicitly change that.
Another method could be a simple check at the Collection pre-request level with some logic to stop the request execution if a Production environment is selected.
There are a number of different methods, workflows and team processes to prevent those types of situations.
