New description:

 When choosing the Front Page and Posts Page within Reading Settings, if
 you have really long post or page titles, these are not truncated, leading
 to a pretty bad looking Settings page.

 Screenshot:

 select-text-length.png)]]

 This is further implicated if moving a column based admin as is discussed
 as having potential here: #16413

 Expected output would be a limitation on the number of characters, what
 that limit should be is open for debate.
