36850	Django Admin filter sidebar wraps if its inner content becomes too large	Mark		"In the course of ticket [https://code.djangoproject.com/ticket/36511 #36511] the layout of the changelist and its filter sidebar has been changed so that the sidebar seemingly should have a fixed width of 240px.

The flex-base property does not necessarily restrict the width of the sidebar if it's content demands more (which happens eg. for dropdowns with large titles). Combined with the flex: wrap attribute, the sidebar wraps if the table also demands more width than available and looks broken (see attachment).

This behavior can be simulated by giving a sidebar's and changelist's children some fixed, large width:

{{{
#changelist-filter-extra-actions {
  width: 290px;
}
#toolbar {
  width: 1000px;
}
}}}

The problem could be resolved by reverting to the previous flex layout, but the motivation for those changes is unclear to me from the ticket and [https://github.com/django/django/pull/19659 related pr].

Should the width of the sidebar stick to 240px or - at it has been before - should the sidebar grow if necessary?

Does the new flex layout have any advantages to how it was in django <6?
