Describe the issue

I saw that the labels of Floating-Label are not perfectly aligned while first messing around with incorrect ellipsis on 5.3 (which has ben fixed according to other issues).

This is a screenshot of the website of version 5.2 (to have a correct version):

I would suggest a change to display the label with a better alignmend to the sides:

Reduced test cases

The problem, why this occurs is in the following css-attribute:

.form-floating>.form-select~label
transform: scale(.85) translateY(-.5rem) translateX(.15rem)

The scale factor reduces the size that was 100% before the transform.
Therefore the real width is 100%*0.85 instead of 100%.

In addition, the alignment is not perfect regarding the left-side because of translateX and translateY.

I would suggest the following change:

.form-floating>.form-select~label
padding-top: 0.5rem /*same adjustment as the transformY to display the label above the input */
padding-bottom: 1.5rem /* adjust for transformY as well*/
font-size: 85% /* adjusts the size of the text in the same way as scale */

Thank you for your work!
