Description
Problem Statement
When using the Workflow Move subaction (or any URL field that contains the typeahead) the URL suggestions in the box are cut off to the point it is hard to tell what the URLs they are referencing are.
Steps to Reproduce
Go to any content type that has a Detail Page, or a workflow action that has a URL typeahead in it such as "Move" and start typing a valid URL pattern. Watch for folder structures that are cut off and hard to read, especially in URL's with longer folder names.
Acceptance Criteria
The typeahead text should span the entire width of the dropdown selection control, or enough of the link to visually see what it is.

Research direction
Start by reproducing the issue in the Workflow Move subaction and in a URL field with typeahead, using a URL with long folder names. Trace the URL typeahead dropdown from that entry point and verify that the suggestion text uses the available control width without cutting off words.
