Status bar spacers cut off text even though there's plenty horizontal room to expand

I'm not sure if this qualifies as a bug on its own, but alongside certain fonts I think it might.

As far as I know there is no way to adjust the location of the spacers in the status bar, this didn't really cause me any issues when using Consolas:

But when I switched to JetBrains Mono (it's open source btw, https://github.com/JetBrains/JetBrainsMono) I immediately noticed things got cut cut off which were fine previously:

It doesn't matter what I set the font size to (for buttons and labels), it doesn't seem to affect the status bar.
This bothers me especially because there's just so much empty room left in the status bar (about 40% of it is empty, and if I made the window bigger that'd be even more).
I could hide the exact bytes to fix the cut off in the second section, but there's literally nothing I can do to fix the cut off in the first section.
Any chance this could be addressed somehow?

Shift+Alt+Wheel over each section changes its width. Just make it a little wider for this wide running font.

Had no idea this was a feature, thanks for pointing it out!
