Description

The select2 field uses javascript to dynamically create a <div>; when this is created the other elements on the page have to reflow.

This improvement is to use a wrapping <div> placeholder that is fixed to the same size as the div that gets added, thereby preventing the reflow.

~~~
It's possible (not tested) that this might also prevent the appearance of scrollbars on large action dialogs.
