[EuiCombobox] allow for multiline options of different height about eui HOT 6 OPEN

Yes, it will! Virtualization will be able to be disabled which will allow for height: auto type configurations. With caveats of course that it's a performance cost for high numbers of options.

I mentioned this in the related Slack thread, but I'll comment here as well for visibility.

I agree that supporting line breaks or multiple lines will help users to identify long fields that are currently being truncated. However, I fear it would also inadvertently create a lot of redundancy and repetition in large portions of the text strings, which will again result in difficulty reading and identifying fields.

That said, what if we were to group fields by their name hierarchy to reduce that redundancy and also use it as a means to make identification easier (regardless if truncated, with line breaks, or neither)? Here's a rough example of what I'm thinking.

@cee-chen Did we decide that this issue will be solve by #2841?

I think this is important, we did everything possible on our side to visualize fields with super long names (which is unfortunately very frequent) but we need multiline with middle truncation in order to fix it once and for all.

Although, as everything, it will depend on the effort this takes, if this is a crazy project we can discuss deprioritizing it.
