ie8 ie7 dropdown list long text gets hidden

[prasannjMember]

in our dropdown, there is an entry which is very long text greater than the width of the ddl. In IE9, a horizontal scrollbar appears and the full text is visible. In IE8 & IE7, the horizontal scrollbar appears, but the long text is cut off. Infact, the selection bar also is cut off at the width of the drop down list. This does not happen in IE9 or Firefox or chrome.

Hi prasannj,

Could you please send us a sample which demonstrates the behavior?

steps to reproduce:
1. take the default behavior sample of dropdownlist
2. change one of the list items as follows: cafe moccacino to cafe moccacinocafe moccacinocafe moccacinocafe moccacinocafe moccacino so that the text becomes really long
3. view the drop downlist in IE8 or IE7.
4. IE9 works fine.
