+It was reported as a fit bug in dual view, and it was that as well. Two things had
+to be fixed:
+
+- `.column-layout` needed `minmax(0, 1fr)`, not `1fr`. A bare `1fr` is
+  `minmax(auto, 1fr)` and the auto minimum is the item's **min-content** size, so a
+  `white-space: nowrap` name pinned the tracks open: they computed to 339.758px
+  each inside a 358px panel and spilled ~320px out of the dropdown. Same trap as
+  flex `min-width: auto`, one level up — and the flex one was already fixed in this
+  file, which is how the grid one got missed.
+- Name truncation is scoped to `.single-input-option .input-option-name`, the only
+  list with a chip. A ~173px column has no room to both truncate and stay
+  readable, so dual-column names wrap as they did before the chips existed.
