Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Core Graveyard :: XForms, defect)

A select1 element whose items are loaded from an itemset, and that has
instance data selecting a matching item in that set, has the wrong width
when the form is loaded.

The only way to get the correct width is to use setvalue to set the instance data to null. A subsequent setvalue can be used to re-select the correct value.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Load referenced url or the attached demonstration file.
2. Note that in section #2 the selects have the wrong width


Actual Results:  
The select1 elements are too narrow. Almost as if their size is determined by the instance data, and not by the itemset choices.

Expected Results:  
The proper width should be used to reflect the actual choices.

I am using xforms 0.4 extension. Note that section 3 of the demonstration file shows using setvalue as a work-around for this problem.

However I play to use these selects in a repeat, so setvalue isn't a realistic workaround.

Need to refresh the width of the select1 in few more places.

Attachment: select1 resizing is not correct inside repeats

This attachment was tested against 0.5RC (2006-4-09). When adding a new repeat template via "add" button, the 2nd filtered select1 in the first template ends up either with the wrong width, and/or no selected choice.
