 * Hi
 * I have added the CSS to increase the width of dropdown box in menu.
 * I now need to increase the “text” to fill the dropdown box width. At present 
   the text can fill two lines

 * Hi [@bevilleliam](https://wordpress.org/support/users/bevilleliam/),
 * Please note that this is support forum for Kale theme. Please ask your question
   on main WordPress support forum: [https://wordpress.org/support/](https://wordpress.org/support/)
   or relevant theme.
 * I had a look at your site and the text in dropdown menu fill one line so I believe
   it depends on screen size.
 * Kind regards
