Control Panel Dropdowns Now Size to Their Content

· Control Panel · Improvement · All updates

Dropdowns across the Control Panel were rendered half a screen wide regardless of what was in them. A two-option filter took as much room as a full form field, and a toolbar with several filters wrapped onto three rows. Every dropdown now sizes to its own content.

01 One rule, every dropdown

A single global stylesheet rule was forcing the width. It applied to every select in the Control Panel, so a filter with two short options and a form field expecting a long value were given identical space. Removing that rule lets each control take the width its own options need.

The same three filters: forced to a fixed width they wrapped onto three rows; sized to their content they sit on one.

02 Where you will notice it

The difference is most obvious on the filter bars in Error Audit and the other log and analytics screens, where several filters share a toolbar. Those filters now fit on one line, leaving the table below them where you expect it.
