Body

GHES version: 3.18.0(upgrade on 22/10/2025)

Project name / view: unicaf/Requests Product Backlog / github.intranet.unicaf.org/orgs/unicaf/projects/79

Expected: “Show more project fields” arrow is visible and expands the project item to show custom fields.

Actual: arrow is not visible / is only a sliver and not reliably clickable when Status label is long (example label: “Deployment Pending - Production”).

Browsers tested: Opera One(version: 120.0.5543.93), Firefox Browser 144.0 (64-bit), Google Chrome Version 138.0.7204.157 (Official Build) (64-bit

Steps to reproduce:
Example:

Clicking on the Show more project fields arrow is not possible. The arrow shown in the screenshot is a different arrow, it's the one for showing the available statuses:

Change the status to a shorter one like "To Do"

Clicking on the show more project fields arrow is possible:
