Legend width shouldn't be hard-coded

Elastic Stack Kibana

The legend width is hard coded to 150px. This causes problems for entries with long names and is compounded with long lists of entries by the scroll bar. While I appreciate that it should have an upper and lower bound, it shouldn't be hard coded. It seems the current value was set to lock the width of the colour palette. I would replace width: 150px; (kibana/src/ui/public/vislib/styles/_legend.less line 44) with

min-width: 150px;
max-width: 250px;

Feel free to suggest different values for min and max width if you think these are wrong.

hi @bh9,

these type of improvements are better logged in the Kibana repo. https://github.com/elastic/kibana/issues/new.

Or, better yet, since you are already suggesting a resolution, I'd recommend submitting a pull request for this. Your fix then becomes part of the Kibana commit-history with your name on it. Guidelines for submitting PRs can be found here: https://github.com/elastic/kibana/blob/master/CONTRIBUTING.md.
