[BUG] z-order / fix size problem with long variant lists

[HarikalarKutusu]

Describe the bug
When adding a language / accent, if the language has a long pre-defined list (variants), the list might not be shown as a whole.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Go to your profile
2. Try adding German/Deutsch (or French) and click the accent box
3. The list is limited by the current page layout (i.e. not flexible) and it might get obscured by the grey footer (About/Discourse/Contact)

Expected behavior
A couple options:

• Resize the area to fit
• Make the pulldown data scrollable
• Make them like "pills", listed side by side, where you select one

Screenshots

Desktop or Mobile (please complete the following information):

• OS: Win 11 (Desktop, on a 4K monitor)
• Browser Opera latest

Additional context
Giving a fixed size will not be enough, as these might be expanded in the future.

Thanks so much for catching this and bringing the issue to us. This is indeed not a great user experience for contributors. I think that the fixes you've outlined here are also a good roundup of ways this could be addressed.

Does anyone have any strong opinions about which of the outlined potential fixes:

• Resizing the presented list modal's size
• making the list scrollable within a smaller, preset maximum size
• expanding the list horizontally as well to better use space

Or have any other thoughts on this challenge?
