Description:
When creating a new Schema in MySQL Workbench, the Collation Selector is too short and the strings become clipped. 

It is not possible to know which collation you have selected - Hovering over the individual collations does not reveal the full name. The only way to know what you have selected is to click 'Apply' to see the selected Index.

Please refer to the below screenshot:-

How to repeat:
1. Open MySQL WorkBench
2. Connect to any Database
3. In the Navigator, Under 'Schemas' Right-Click an empty area and choose 'Create Schema...'
4. Set the Charset to utf8mb4
5. View the list of Collations

Observed: Can't view the full name of most collations, rendering the list not helpful

Expected: Should be able to view the full name of each collation, or atleast hover over to check that you have selected the correct one.

Suggested fix:
Make the selection box wider to accomodate longer collation names
