Select: support automatically computed fixed width

[bill]

The width of the Select widget changes depending on which option is selected. It would be better if it remained a constant width, the width of the widest option.

Problem can probably be lessened (worked around) by setting a min-width on (one of the) Select's DOMNodes, but that won't work on IE6 and it will be hard to find a "just wide enough" width setting, since the drop down options may change over time, and also because they will change width depending on browser zoom setting.

The optimal solution is probably to work like Calendar does, where all the options are rendered inside a 1px tall hidden div, just to get the width of the widest element (all without JS size calculations).

Hello,

Is there any idea of when this enhancement will be made? I see it is high priority...

Thanks! David
