suggestion: standard width for <select> field

[frequent]

The select field width adapts depending on the item the user selects.

Would it make sense to set automatically set the width to the largest option with text-overflow = ellipsis at a certain max-width? Makes layouting with select fields much easier.

So as:

select
option 1 = 123
option 2 = "this is a long option text"

select-width would be the width required to display option 2.

This is worth considering since it's the standard behavior with a native select.
