It seems like not an easy problem to implement and Tracey doesn’t like that implementation at all for combos where width is too small to show the full text when expanded. Perhaps I should make these combos aligned only if their width is greater than certain number. Otherwise let the combos handle the drop-down portion themselves.

How about using FontMetric() to get the char width, multiply it by the number of chars in the text, and then dynamically resizing the box's width? Just a thought and doesn't sound too hard
