Hello Adolf,

I have a patch for the overlapping labels:

  
https://git.ipfire.org/?p=ipfire-2.x.git;a=commitdiff;h=306516d99a8333ca7d91adba835c206ebbaf9b9b

The dropdown that is way too long is something that I cannot fix easily without 
rewriting a lot of code. Maybe I will find the time soon to do this, maybe we 
will release with it. It isn’t pretty, but at the same time not a blocker 
either.

-Michael
