Description
In my dropdown selections, if the text is long and it needs to exceed 1 line, it just cuts the text.
Pixel 4XL.
My selection layout is:
```
```
I have tried adding various things like
`
android:singleLine="false"
android:maxLines=3
etc...
`
Nothing seems to be working.

Research direction
