Dropdown content box in bc tables not filling entire table width

While I was working on some alignment with the star icons in bc tables, I noticed the dropdown content box doesn’t occupy the entire width of the table which seemed a bit odd. This might not be an issue, but I wanted to bring it up just in case.

It’s reproduced for other pages but in the bc table on :nth-child() - CSS is where the screenshot from below comes from.

From what I can see, this is intended for the text to have max-width: 75ch

What are your thoughts on keeping max-width for the text but have the background color still occupy 100% width of the table cell like the “Matches element with no parent” box does shown in the picture.

I am going to implement a fix that will resolve both this one as well as https://github.com/mdn/yari/issues/3076 Thanks so much for all the info @tannerdolby - I will ping you for review once ready seeing that you have played such a big role here and also understand the entire context.

@schalkneethling I’ve navigated about 50 pages with BCD tables and I noticed quite a few still had the issue.

I can provide the full list of pages that need fixes if you need me too.

Thanks so much for looking into this. It is so weird that some are fine and some are not, especially seeing that I did nothing to “fix” those that are 🙃 Anyhow, I will look into what is different between these. Thanks again.
