Other than the left hand menu (fixed at 10em), everything this fluid.
Reasonably sematic markup, external css etc.

I don't think anything other than the snippet is necessary given that this
is a browser issue. Copy the following and it will give you a page that
demonstrates the issue:
<html>
<body>
<select name="Select1" style="width: 10em">
<option>men, women and children</option>
<option>boys toys</option>
</select>
</body>
</html>
I suspect now that the original design decision for a fixed width left hand
menu was a mistake, or at least a mistake to include selection lists in it.
