I believe that if we set the input box width to 100%, we may also need to adjust the button alignment, as it does not appear to be properly aligned at the moment. It should support alignment options such as right, center, or left, as appropriate.

Just sharing my thoughts.

Currently, it appears as shown here: https://prnt.sc/GRIgTITSt3Zr

The floating issue already happened in WordPress 6.9, but it is more noticeable now. The floating labels' top margin is too small for the larger input size.

The Add to Menu button alignment expects multiple elements in the .button-controls container with justify-content: space-between. The Custom Links section only has the one button, and that could use justify-content: flex-end. When JS is turned off, other sections can hide the Select All checkbox, moving the Add to Menu button closer to the center.

I would also like to remove the howto class from the labels because the gray text seems more inappropriate now.

Editing the current .menu-item-textbox ruleset seems safe with core, but I would be more comfortable setting full width on .customlinkdiv .menu-item-textbox (especially during beta).

.menu-item-textbox {
	width: 180px;
}

.customlinkdiv .menu-item-textbox {
	width: 100%;
}

Core adds the menu-item-textbox class to Custom Link controls both on the Menus page and in the Customizer. The Menus page also uses the class for the Menu name, but that is set to 270px.

A plugin directory search found some plugins using the class, though more than one of them already assigned 100% width.

If the input is full width, the error message would not need the float or reduced width either.
