If I activate validation for a cell where accepted values are from a list, the menu showing the list values is as wide as the cell itself. There are cases, however, where this is not reasonable, and the width should be the one of the widest list item. In fact, when I set a cell to contain text that is longer than the cell's width, either because the text spills over the cell on the right, or because of text wrapping in the cell, then the text in the dropdown menu becomes truncated and unreadable. I do not observe this problem in Gnumeric, which, apparently, makes the menu as wide as the widest entry in the list.

Hi Caolán, I thought you might be interested in this issue... If the column is too narrow, the dropdownlist isn't displayed. Could it be possible to have a min width ?
