Thank you very much for seeing this problem and contributing a patch.
I do not see this overflow in my Firefox ESR 52 or Chromium 64.  Could
you say what version of Firefox you are using?  Or does it only
overflow with specific viewport sizes?  How can I recreate the problem?

The modification seems reasonable however.  I have installed it into
the production server.  It's running now.  I have not committed the
change to version control yet giving time for a few others to test the
change (since I cannot verify it) and to give you a chance to verify
that this fixes the problem you are seeing.  Does it?

I very slightly modified the patch to maintain the same indention as
the other lines in the file.  Generally when making modifications one
always maintains the same indention style as the rest of the file even
if it isn't the indentation one normally prefers and uses.

The modification is small (around 15 lines or so is the legal limit)
and does not need a copyright assignment.

If things look okay to you as running now then I will make the
following commit.

    Fix overflow of left navigation menu search box.
