Description: I submitted this as a bug however I was told it is not one even though it is fine in version 6 but not 7. I use Calc with large validation fields and set them up as drop downs so the user can select an option from a list. In Version 6 the drop down fields would display much larger making it easier for the user to pick the correct option however in version 7 these fields display much shorter and cut the text off so it is harder for the user to see what they are choosing. v7 https://ibb.co/7kWhJnH and this image for version 6 https://ibb.co/WtqL3S6. You may also reference Bug 138579. Steps to Reproduce: 1.Create a large validation cell with drop downs 2.Attempt to view the dropdown 3. Actual Results: The filed is clipped in version 7 but in version 6 it displays the length of the field. Expected Results: Version 6 behavior, however long the cell is that is how long the drop down should be. Reproducible: Always User Profile Reset: No Additional Info: I still believe this is a bug as the behavior suddenly changed from version 6 to version 7. The images clearly show the difference. I don't even understand why anyone would want it the way it is configured in 7 as the rest of the length is just wasted space.
Please create an example of a dropdown that is seen different in 6 compaering to version 7. We need something to test on. It's much easier. I have created a new dropdown with 2 words, a short one and a long one. The dropdown will be minimum a default size, but of course you cold increse it. A bug would be if the same file when open with 6 it's a certain size, and opening with another version has another size. Waiting for your example file.
I have added photos of both in the description. version 6 is https://ibb.co/WtqL3S6. version 7 is https://ibb.co/7kWhJnH. I have also uploaded a ODS file to google drive which is linked here. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1CzyhoX9vnJtU1cgognUq78VyQAwnPIOh/view?usp=sharing. Please drip down the one item field in both version and you will see the difference.
I have just created an unlisted youtube video as well trying to explain the issue https://youtu.be/dMMQEpbmHzk

Caolan please take a look. Thanks.
This comes about due to merging two pieces of code that both put up a menu-like widget, this one and another for "scenario" menus. The scenario menu one had a preexisting 300 pixel width limit which has ended up being reused for this menu too. Original comment on it was "auch nicht uebertreiben (Pixel)" from the primordial checkin "do not over do it (Pixel)"
