The selectors from the “Select Posts…” option in the topic admin wrench overlap the last part of the first line of the post if it’s long enough.
Example:
The simple solution seems to me to be to move the selectors to be beside the post time, above the text of the post, something like this:
Kind of like it is on mobile.

Moved the buttons, also improved button contrast, made the styling more consistent with the rest of our UI, and consolidated some duplicate mobile/desktop CSS.

I think something like an alpha background z-indexed over the post controls would look OK.
