 > Personally I'm not too bothered by the shifting text, if we really want
 to resolve this issue completely we should switch from animating size to
 animating position or fading.  Animating position would mean adjusting
 'left' to slide the widget in/out.  Since @westonruter mentioned this was
 the original approach, I'm guessing it brings its own set of
 disadvantages/issues.

 I'm trying to recall why animating `left` position was not used. I think I
 was going down this road initially, and the `z-index` was required to
 force the widget to appear behind the panel. But then I went with
 animating the `width` instead, perhaps for parity with the `height`
 animation of the non-wide controls.

 > Fading the widget in and out is another possibility - here is a mock up
 of what this would look like - http://cl.ly/2G1K1w39300w. If we want to go
 the fade in/out route I will clean up my test code and provide a patch,
 otherwise i think this can go in as is.

 I like this!
