Hi,

I'd need this because the image I provided is just for sample. My
select contains fairly large strings, and I don't have enough space on
my page to set the width of my select wide enough to see all text. So I
was wondering if even the select element is somewhat small, it was
possible to at least expand the box to a width so we see all text in
the box that shows all elements when we click on the select.
