NetBox version

v3.4.7

Python version

3.10

Steps to Reproduce

Someone broke down the layout of ObjectEditView related to multiline edit fields (like those which correspond to models.TextField or models.JSONField) starting from version v3.4.6.
Let's create very simple plugin to demonstrate this:

models.py

from django.db import models
from netbox.models import NetBoxModel


class MyModel(NetBoxModel):
    name = models.CharField(max_length=255)
    description = models.TextField()

forms.py

from netbox.forms import NetBoxModelForm
from .models import MyModel


class MyForm(NetBoxModelForm):
    class Meta:
        model = MyModel
        fields = ('name', 'description')

views.py

from netbox.views.generic import ObjectEditView
from .models import MyModel
from .forms import MyForm


class MyEditView(ObjectEditView):
    queryset = MyModel.objects.all()
    form = MyForm

urls.py

from django.urls import path
from .views import MyEditView


urlpatterns = [path('myview/add/', MyEditView.as_view())]

Let's see how the page http://<netbox>/plugins/testplugin/myview/add/ looks like under different versions:

v3.4.5:

v3.4.6 and v3.4.7:

Expected Behavior

The form with TextField or JSONField in v3.4.6+ should look exactly like in v3.4.5, it has to have the same width as the other fields (like name and tags in the example) and have the name of the field on the left

Observed Behavior

TextField in v3.4.6+ is relatively wider that all other fields and has no name of the field on the left.
I tried both: Firefox and Chrome, no difference.
