UI Improvement: Enlarge drop down window for list with item count greater than 5

[hostle83]

Describe the bug

There are a number of drop down lists throughout DSpace that contain options for users to select from. When a user clicks on one of these, the drop down window opens and displays the list. The window is often small, which makes navigating through the list difficult from a UI perspective. See screenshot.

This issue will be scoped to just the dropdown on the Import from external sources page.

To Reproduce

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. On the sandbox, submit an item via the My DSpace page; select live import from external sources.

Selecting Publication to import shows the small dropdown with larger number of options.

Expected behavior

It would be great to make the window larger by default or allow the ability to resize the window.

Hi Holger, thanks for submitting this! You mentioned a number of drop downs are similar - besides Live Import like in the screenshot here, were there any other particular pages you'd like to be highlight for this improvement?

Hi Lia, thanks for the question -- I think I remember seeing this in other places, but I just did a quick pass through the system and am unable to find the other places where I supposed to find similar behavior. So I guess for now, the live import as indicated in the screenshot above is the only place where I can safely point to. I'll create another ticket should I stumble across this anywhere else.
