Description

So for example if my values are:

John Smith at 555 Main Street and the column is only wide enough for John Smith the combobox actually shows "ain Street" for the selected item which is very hard to read. All other items are correctly left aligned so that you can see the value as expected (John Smith at 55...)

Research direction

No files or tests are named. Reproduce the issue with a grid editor combobox whose column is narrower than the selected value, then trace the grid editor and combobox behavior. Done means the selected value remains left aligned and readable like other items when the column is narrow, with a regression test if the existing test structure supports it.
