Permission names can be longer than the select box they are in

[django@…]

In the edit group / user pages, permission names are often larger than the select box they are placed in, which results in you being unable to see what permissions you are adding without some form of ugly workaround such as making the box larger with chromes inspect element. I've attached a screenshot demonstrating this issue.

Some possible ideas to fix this...
1) Make the select box resizeable
2) Make the select box larger
3) Make the select box have a horizontal scroll bar if required
4) Display the full permission name in a tool tip on mouse over

I think I already made the selection box larger (likely in 1.6). Can you check how it looks like in the master branch?

It is now bigger in master than in the screenshot attached to this ticket. People using this widget in the admin still could have select options that overflow outside the box. I've got a pull request that adds tooltips to the options using the built in 'title' attribute on HTML option elements here: ​https://github.com/rmutter/django/commit/c438cc2a3653644ea42987f7e65f6f638ca85f6c.

Fixed #20821 -- Added tooltips to Admin SelectBox widget

The Admin widget, which can be used to filter multiple selects
can sometimes be too narrow and hide information such as
user permissions. This commit adds tooltips to the select
options so that a user can hover over and see the hidden text.
