Bug Description
This is a usability issue. With a small square monitor on the 'edit' tab of the volume/copy record screen, the windows for the drop-down menus for copy templates, prefixes, and suffixes are too small. There appears to be room on the template bar to increase the size of the template menu window. Enlarging this would make it easier for catalogers to select the correct templates more easily. Libraries with multiple templates often prefix the names with Adult or Juv or Child, only seeing 4-5 characters makes it harder to see which was selected until hitting apply. It's less obvious how the prefix/suffix windows could be made wider as there's little room on that display unless the 'owning library' and 'volumes' boxes were put on a separate line.
It would be nice to be able to customize the defaults for what boxes show on that line for libraries that do not use copy numbers, prefixes, or suffixes.

This also is a problem when using Firefox. The template window is extremely narrow even though there appears to a lot of empty space on the bar to make it larger. This does make it more time-consuming than it should be to determine which template you are using. Screenshot attached.
