Make the "Show More Labels" button turn up when there's two too many options.

I was reorganizing my Trello when I ran into this edge case that I feel should be addressed. When I added a ninth and final label, this apparently made the "Show More Labels" function kick in, which resulted in this behaviour:

Effectively, the "Show More Labels" button hides exactly one label, which is the same height as the button itself. It adds an extra click to no benefit to the UI or UX and, to be quite blunt, is less than useless in this specific situation.

My suggestion is to display up to 9 labels, and have it hide 2 labels when a 10th one is added.

To cover all bases, if these values are different depending on the size of the viewport, app, or whatever else, then have it display n+1 labels, and hide 2 labels when an n+2nd one is added, where n is the current display limit of the viewport in question.

Alternatively, just add a scrollbar. It works just fine for cards, why not labels too?

Agreed, I have a hard time understanding the current UI behavior.

Yesterday, when I began merging new labels into an existing board I had to press "Show more labels" 3-4 times to reveal the entire list.

I'd like to see a setting to make the dialog default to showing all labels. You could toggle the default behavior in settings, or even just make "Show more labels" toggle it on and off globally, instead of just turning it on for that dialog box.

It would be particularly good with moderns screens. I only have a 1440p monitor and it I could have over 30 labels before needing a scroll bar. I also don't need suggested labels or the creation and configuration buttons. Those 3 buttons and the a few suggested lables easily eat up 6-10 labels worth of space.
