Verified issue does not already exist?

  • I have searched and found no existing issue

What happened?

When creating a rule, the list with matches (and more specifically the Payee column) is overflowing for longer names.

How can we reproduce the issue?

See attached screenshot.

does this still happen on edge.actualbudget.org? There was a similar issue that was fixed already but it was a little different.

Unfortunately it does (couldn't reproduce the same case so I edited the HTML):

I'm looking at this, and I can try for a fix - question is should the fix be only limited to css, or also add in some character limitation for the payee field? (I'm not sure if it exists already)

@joel-jeremy You might know this. Is there max char validation on fields? If not, should we consider this?
