Select element doesn't resize after setting contents until mouse rollover

Details
When using the select element for a combobox or list in a XUL UI file,
we often need to fill the list (i.e., add option tags) at runtime via
JavaScript. When we do that, the layout of the widget doesn't resize correctly
according to the new content.
Test case is to launch the editor (from Apprunner task menu or with -edit
on the commandline):
Click in a document to locate the caret NOT inside an existing table.
Click on the "Table" toolbar button -- the Insert Table dialog appears.
Move mouse over the combobox to the right of the "Table Width" editfield.
The combobox widens because an item was added during dialog startup with the
string "% of window".
Another case showing problem in a list:
Locate caret as above in the editor test document.
Click on the "Link" toolbar button -- the Link Properties dialog appears.
The list near the bottom contains headings and named anchors. Note that it has
scrollbars.
Move the mouse over the list and it changes size and the scrollbars are
removed. This may be tricky -- you may have to move mouse around, including
over different elements of the scrollbar (the arrows and/or the "thumb") until
this change is triggered.
Note that calling window.sizeToContent() after filling a list or combobox does
not change this behavior.
Maybe the solution is to trigger recalculation of the widget size when this
method is called? (We have to do this anyway since the changes to the select
widget size requires relaying out of the dialog.)
David: Does this sound like a good idea?

After further research, this is probably a dup of 16317 or 16362 (which is
supposed to be fixed.)
I'm updating my tree now to be sure I got the fix for 16362.
