Comment 7 for bug 1846042

With more filtered Angular grids getting getting added, I see improving the filter UI as increasingly important.

I propose the filter dropdown toggle be the only visible element when the dropdown is collapsed (and that it be changed to text) and that the filter value input be moved into the drodown menu.

I realize this diminishes some of the value of the filter UI, because you see less information at a glance. But it solves all of the spacing issues and, as it stands, some of the grid filters are so packed, their contents are not visible anyway.

Three images (clumsily combined into one for LP) demoing what I propose.
