If I have a narrow drop down and nothing is selected I get an error message as expected. When the drop-downs are wide everything is fine, but when they are narrow I get a cut off error message as below. How do I set the widt or minimum width for this error message. This was FF on OS X.

Well is it only happening in FF?

The width might be set by javascript based on the elements width, because it looks to be the same width as the drop down box. That or FF is fucked but I normally find it's some crazy JS like that.

How to fix it? That's the tricky part. Either hack up a CSS fix or go Javascript diving or widen the control or use a different error message widget.
