System Information
Operating system: Windows-10-10.0.18362-SP0 64 Bits
Graphics card: GeForce GTX 860M/PCIe/SSE2 NVIDIA Corporation 4.5.0 NVIDIA 436.48

Blender Version
Broken: version: 2.83 (sub 11), branch: master, commit date: 2020-03-31 23:07, hash: da3cb514e5

Short description of error
Popover "down arrow" disappears when it is compressed to its minimal width.

Exact steps for others to reproduce the error

Open attached blend file: popover_missing_arrow.blend
Run script from Text Editor.

Locate TEST panel in viewport Sidebar.

I am not sure if this is intentional, but it feels like popovers should always have "down arrow" visible, similar to enum properties.

I'm not sure if this is a bug / error.
I agree that the enum seems to behave better.
This must be because of the alignment of the button which is on the right and not in the center.

There is a patch being worked on that works in a related area -> D7145

It might be relate to the minimum width specified for this UI element, popover seems to follow the same logic for UI button that menu does (it has the same "limitation").

Though I can easily bypass this limitation by manually increasing the size of the popover button in Python script, that would make popover button behave and look similar to enum button in row layout.

sub = row.row()
sub.scale_x = 1.28
sub.popover()

So I guess that popover is supposed to behave identical to the menu button?
I will mark this report as invalid for now, though I would appreciate if UI developers could clarify this.
