My problem fiddle is here: https://jsfiddle.net/h3mb08ph/

I'd like to move the "plus" dropdown button-group to the left of the edit button.

Problem

I first moved the div to the correct place, like so: https://jsfiddle.net/h3mb08ph/1/

Slightly better

Next, I tried to convert the div to a span, or even to change the div's display to inline or inline-block.

This helps achieve the desired layout, but I can no longer expand the dropdown button by clicking on +. Any idea how I can achieve the button layout below, while still allowing the dropdown menu to expand while clicked?
