Post-Object field too wide with long post titles

Hi,
I set up a repeater with 3 sub-fields for an image, a text and a post-object link. With longer titles the post-object field bumps the other fields. It gets as wide as the title is long, no matter how narrow I set this field up within the table layout of the parent repeater. It behaves similar within the block layout.

A suggestion for a future update of ACF: please style this dropdown list of titles with “overflow: hidden” or shorten longer titles. :-S

See screenshot attached.
Besides this tiny issue:
Thanks for the great work!

Just a suggestion, with a large field type like a WYSIWYG editor as one of your repeater sub fields I’d probably set the repeater layout as row instead of table.

With the “block” or (row) layout the problem stays the same. If the title is wider as the wrapping parent Repeater Field, the post-object field overlaps this parent wrapper.

I showed the table layout on purpose. It works much better for us in terms of overview and resorting by drag-n-drop. The little overflow issue with the post-object field exists independently of the repeater layout, I think.

i’m having a problem with this also… Input fields are cut-off on the backend making it difficult to put in values.

I don’t even remember relying to this the first time, and the original screen shots are gone. Can you supply a screen shot of the problem, and possibly an example field group that shows the problem? Also, what version of ACF are you using?
