heatbug probe sizes

I probed a heatbug (this is swarm-1.0.5/swarmapps-1.0.2,hpux 10.2)
and then brought up the expanded probe using the MB3 on
the upper-left Heatbug in the original probe.
I then clicked on the superclass button
and the probe expanded as it should, but the problem
is the probe is so wide the superclass button is no
longer accessible (along with other things on the right
of this expanded probe, eg the dismiss button)!!  
The probe display is as  wide as my screen and 
it won't let me make it bigger (even if I slide it to one side
and try to expand to the other side).
And there is no horizontal slide bar so I can't get
at it that way.  (The vertical slide bar works fine, of course.)

So...I think I asked this before (for aesthetic reasons),
but now its a question of functionality:  eg., I can't go more
than one level up, and can't get to the copy method.

How can I make the probes contents display in a smaller
font, or whatever it takes to make them fit?
Is the a .Xdefaults resource entry to control this?
Or maybe there is ome other way?
Or maybe I forgot something that will make this work?

Thanks!

BTW -- 
I not have tried this for a couple of swarm versions, but I do
know that last winter (swarm 1.0.0 and 1.0.1 eg) I could
do this and at least the probe fit (though it would be huge).
The problem is I was planning to use this for a demo in the
next week or so, and I figured it would still be there!
