My workflow has long transition names and several of them. They naturally don't fit in the transition buttons dropdown on issue view screen and they are trimmed. I can't see the whole names.

How can I increase the width of the dropdown and the transition names displayed in the dropdown menu so I can see full names?

I've tried the CSS solutions recommended in the link below. Seems like they are for older versions of Jira. These solutions increase the width of the dropdown all right but the transiton names are still trimmed and there is a large white space on the right side of the dropdown.

Any up to date ideas?

Using Jira 8.6 by the way.
