Parent Taxonomy select box cutting off text

[jgadbois]

The following CSS rule makes the parent taxonomy select on the Add Post screen only take up about half of the available space. For many taxonomies this cuts off the "-- Parent Taxonomy --" text. Is there a reason the available room isn't being used?

#side-sortables .category-add input[type="text"], #side-sortables .category-add select {
   width: 160px;
}

Changing to min-width seems fine.

Change width to min-width

Broken in [18619].

It was full width in 3.2. Per IRC, going with width: 100% rather than min-width.

Fine by me.

Tested in Press This as well.

Don't restrict width of the Parent Taxonomy dropdown. props jgadbois, fixes #19339.

This results in super wide text field and select when the Categories postbox is under the editor. Patching.

[nacin]

So, min-width: 250px?

In [19546]:

Make the Add new Category fields up to 260px wide, fixes #19339

As discussed in IRC, the select will be end-to-end wide when on the left side or in Press This and 260px wide when under the editor.
