Description
Hello,
We detected a bug with the placeholder of the popup "Assign Roles to Users/Groups":
To reproduce the bug: choose a dataset -> Edit Dataset -> Permissions -> Dataset -> Assign Roles to Users/Groups
for example: https://demo.dataverse.org/permissions-manage.xhtml?id=2019249
In the placeholder, actually the text is small "Enter User/Group Name", if it was a large one for example: "Enter User/Group Name _ Enter User/Group Name", it will be truncated in the placeholder (see screenshot)
and when investigating, we can say that the origin of the problem is the css style "float: left" (see screenshot after delete of float: left)

Research direction
Start at the dataset permissions flow: choose a dataset, open Edit Dataset, then Permissions > Dataset > Assign Roles to Users/Groups, using the permissions-manage.xhtml example. Inspect the CSS applied to the placeholder and the float: left rule identified in the issue. Done means a longer placeholder is no longer truncated while the popup layout remains correct.
