I see what you mean and can repro this if delete or overwrite the `max-width: 100%;` in this line:

```
#reply-control .category-input .category-chooser {
    display: flex;
    flex: 1 0 auto;
    max-width: 100%;
    width: auto;
}

```

Otherwise this truncate the category name with `...` at the end.
