Widen target branch select box when editing MR

The names of the release branches in our project are of the following form: release-branches/OUR_PRODUCT_X.Y

When creating a merge request using the Create merge request button on the Merge Requests page, the target branch is already populated with the project's default branch and can also no longer be changed. The problem is, that the Target branch select box is not wide enough to show the entire branch name, it gets truncated somewhere between UR and PROD. As there's also no tooltip to show the complete name of the target branch, there's no way to know which specific target branch is selected on this specific page.

My suggestion is to either

  1. Widen the select box to show longer branch names
  2. Provide a tooltip with the complete branch name at least when it is truncated
