Constrain content-based menus to the available viewport.

width: max-content can make a menu wider than its containing block. The inherited white-space: nowrap at Line 127 and overflow-x: hidden at Line 68 can leave long labels inaccessible. Add a viewport constraint and allow labels to wrap or truncate.

268, Update the dropdown panel sizing around width: max-content to constrain it
to the available containing-block or viewport width. Adjust the inherited nowrap
behavior and horizontal overflow handling so long labels remain accessible by
wrapping or truncating instead of being cropped.

Enforce the specified 36px row height.
