Admin interface ForeignKey field select widget partially hidden in Firefox

[David Hobbs]

This problem appeared in Django 1.8 (it remains in 1.8.1) -- it's fine in 1.7.8. The size of the "related-widget-wrapper" is too narrow, and the select widget overflow gets hidden. This is in Firefox 37 -- it doesn't get hidden in Chrome (I didn't try other browsers), but I think the layout of objects within the wrapper did change in Chrome.

It looks like it only happens when the ForeignKey field is in a row with other fields.

How do you make the ForeignKey field appear in a row with other fields?

In admin.py, for example:

fieldsets = (
    (None, {'fields': (('status', 'created', 'modified'),)}),
)

And 'status' is a ForeignKey.

I tried to reproduce using the tutorial, but the "Poll" selector appears fine. Does this code reproduce the problem for you? Tested on Ubuntu 14.04 and Firefox 38.

class ChoiceAdmin(admin.ModelAdmin):
    fieldsets = [
        (None, {'fields': ['poll', 'votes']}),
    ]

Using the tutorial I was able to reproduce with:

class ChoiceAdmin(admin.ModelAdmin):
    fieldsets = [
        (None, {'fields': [('question', 'votes')]}),
    ]

Note the parens around the two fields to put them on the same line. This is on Windows 7 w/ Firefox 37.
