Description
When editing users or groups permissions, often, the select widget crops the permission description. As shown on the screenshot attached to this ticket, cropping happens even for a model shipped by Django, namely ContentType. This isn't a very long name — 11 characters only.
The situation gets worse quickly when you have a long model name (eg. ScheduledMaintenance) and many custom permissions; it becomes very hard to differentiate them.
I think the widget was designed for 640px-wide screens. Nowadays I think we can aim for a minimum of 1024px. I'm attaching a patch.

I chose the least invasive patch in order to minimize the risk of breaking the widget's layout — under the "if it ain't broken don't fix it" doctrine.

What about using percentages instead of pixels?
