Sync button can be extremely small with ?stringTest=dynamic

Problem description
For phetsims/qa#1121, with ?stringTest=dynamic on the Distribute screen the Sync button can get really tiny and once it does, it will no longer change size when pressing the arrow keys. I'm not sure if this would happen when the "Sync" word is very small in locales other than English. I don't see this issue with ?stringTest=X.

Steps to reproduce

1. Add ?stringTest=dynamic to the end of the url
2. Go to the Distribute screen
3. Press the down arrow 5 times --the button will be really tiny
4. Then press any combination of arrows --the button will never get larger with text inside.

I also see something similar with the Region and Culture combobox.

1. With ?string test=dynamic added, go to the Localization tab of the Preferences dialog
2. Press the left arrow once
3. Press the right arrow once --> the combobox will not return to its original size
4. Continue to use any combination of arrow keys --it will never return to its original size and can very tiny like the Sync button

Without having done any investigation this looks like a layout bug. @jonathanolson is this ringing any bells since you've been working in the area? Either way happy to investigate.

I see that @pixelzoom made an issue about the combobox part of things here: phetsims/sun#889

Fixed in phetsims/sun#889 I will cherry pick the commit there.

looks fixed in rc.2
