Description
When an edit-able combobox is pre-filled with values, if those values are longer than the size of the combo box, the edit window gets pushed to the side.

It seems we are given a horizontal scroll bar when those long values are present, however, it would be nice to be able to constrain the width of the pop up, and possibly have access to text trimming options.

Research direction
No source files, tests, or entry points are identified in the issue. Reproduce the behavior with an editable combo box containing a value longer than the control, then determine the intended popup-width and text-trimming behavior; done means long pre-filled values no longer push the edit window aside and the chosen behavior is covered by a regression test.
