Comment (by sabernhardt):

 [attachment:"61662.diff"] can solve the issue of excessively tall
 metaboxes for Categories and custom hierarchical taxonomies in the Classic
 Editor. However, it should use `max-height` instead of `height` for when
 the taxonomies have very few items.

 I'm nervous about what other boxes we might have missed, so I made another
 option that restores `edit.css` and scopes the new resizing styles to
 affect only the `#menu-settings-column`. I had wanted to add those styles
 to `nav-menus.css` without the scope, but apparently the Classic Editor
 page loads that stylesheet too.

 I am not sure which direction is more appropriate, especially in the
 context of a minor release.
