This is confirmed on Windows XP, Firefox 1.5.0.6.

Attachment: Shows the difference between two <select> elements. Both have max-width set, but only one has size of 2.

Setting max-width to inherit seems to work around this bug.

Reporter, do you still see this problem with the latest Firefox 2? If not, can you please close this bug as WORKSFORME. Thanks!

Still there as of Firefox 2.0.0.4, on Windows XP. Explicitly setting max-width on the select element, as in the example HTML I sent, or in CSS, still causes it to go to max-width. Only if I set it in CSS and use max=width:inherit on the element does it use the width of the widest item.

Can you please check latest Trunk/Firefox 3 Version too ?
And attaching a small Testcase to this Bug would others help confirming the issue.
Thanks!

The bug does not appear in Gran Paradiso Alpha 6, if that's what you mean. I'll attach a small test file that shows the bug in Firefox 2.

Only major problems with html/css rendering are fixed in Firefox 2. Since this is working on the trunk marking works for me as we don't know which patch fixed this.
