    Have you tried lowering the letter or breaking the line?

  • But the line break doesn’t look good visually :S

  • Friend, the only way is to let it large or manipulate the text. Try to break the line, but then you put some selector and try to manipulate it into a cool position. For example : <option>texto1<br><span class="align">texto2</span></option> abrs
