Yah, my comment above stands. May be suitable for DropDownSelect? widget in dojox.form though so reassigning there.

I'm not quite sure what you mean here - but the dojox.form.DropDownSelect? is already auto-width...that is, it will be the width of whatever its value is.

OK, then going to mark this as wontfix (as per my original comment).
We could theoretically download all the data up front, render all of it in order to get width, and then hide the unwanted rows, but that's starting to sound like an entirely separate widget, one which wouldn't be suitable for the large amounts of data FilteringSelect is meant to deal with.
It's not going to be realistic to size-to-fit FilteringSelect? or ComboBox? for the general case, since there may be millions of values and we don't want to pull them all in from the data store and put them into the DOM in a hidden way, nor do we want to do javascript sizing.
I realize there's a I18N issue, but this probably makes more sense to do for a select widget that doesn't involve dojo.data (#3270). Anyway, let's discuss when we have some time.
