`Limit to groups` selection broken for >~5 groups

[q-wertz]

⚠️ This issue respects the following points: ⚠️

• This is a bug, not a question or a configuration/webserver/proxy issue.
• This issue is not already reported on Github OR Nextcloud Community Forum (I've searched it).
• Nextcloud Server is up to date. See Maintenance and Release Schedule for supported versions.
• I agree to follow Nextcloud's Code of Conduct.

Bug description

In the Admin Apps menu, the Limit to groups selector (and list of allowed groups) is broken/very inconvenient.

• If there are more groups than fit into the one line sidebar, the bar is extended horizontally to the right (which makes it unreadable)
• The selectbox cannot be scrolled only searched
  -> one can only search for the group names by typing in the beginning of the group name
  -> the groups that are not in the top 5 cannot be removed conveniently (one again has to search for the name)

Steps to reproduce

1. Go to the Apps menu
2. Select an App
3. (Try) to add a few groups
4. Extra: Try to remove groups that are not in the default list of 5

Expected behavior

1. The field gets a multiline view as soon as the group names exceed the available horizontal space
2. The selectbox for adding other groups is scrollable
3. To be able to remove groups, it would be also convenient to list the enabled groups at the top.

00:08-00:11: Missing scrolling
00:13-end: (Inconventient) way to add/remove a group that is not in the default list

[profhccaesar]

The issue consists of two independent bugs:

1. A layout problem - drop-down list is hidden below app description:

   
   Haven't found a simple workaround yet. It is possible to remove the app description using browsers "inspect" function; then the drop-down will be shown correctly.

2. A maximum of five groups are populated into the selection list / input field.

Source of the second problem is an explicit limitation to 5 groups in settings-apps-view-7418.js.

The following workaround solves the problem in a live system:

sed -i -re 's/:5([,}])/:99\1/g' dist/settings-apps-view-7418.js
