Comment:

 Thanks @SergeyBiryukov  / @mukesh27  / @desrosj  / @adhitya03  /
 @jalpa1984  for the patches they were very helpful in reproducing and
 analyzing the options here.

 I've refreshed @adhitya03 patch to apply against trunk with
 [https://core.trac.wordpress.org/attachment/ticket/47366/47366.6.diff
 47366.6.diff], I agree we should be 'consistent with other pages'.

 Testing with the patches the `max-width: 25rem;` conformed with other
 inputs across browsers and screensizes as well it never allowed the
 content to overflow the page.

 @paresh07 while I appreciate the feedback I feel there's no need to
 truncate the actual option contents as that would interfere with
 screenreaders as well on Chrome and other browsers the options will never
 overflow the screen, but if you are on desktop it will overflow the
 viewport outside of your browser to allow users to read the full
 title/contents. I've illustrated that here -

 Testing across browsers and through the multiple admin screens, this
 addresses the issues on Privacy and Reading Settings without causing
 reversion in other areas.

 @SergeyBiryukov / @desrosj this is ready for a final committers review.
