When HTMLEditorKit creates a view representing a <select size=1> element, the
initial size of the resulting widget is chosen in such a way as to fill up the
entire available space of the current line. Later if the size of the line is
to change, the width of the dropdown changes too.

Admittedly, the HTML spec doesn't define the heuristics for determining the
width of a 'select' element. Still, it's my opinion that once set, the width
shouldn't change.

Steps to reproduce:

1. Compile and run included code
2. Resize the applet window
   the size of the combo box will change
   with the size of the applet window

      frame.setContentPane( new test() );
      frame.setBounds(100,100,300,200);
      frame.show();
   }

   public test()
   {
      html = new JEditorPane();
      html.setEditorKit( new HTMLEditorKit() );
      
      html.setText("<p>Count: <select
size=1><option>1</option><option>2</option> items?</p>");
      setLayout( new BorderLayout() );
      add( html, BorderLayout.CENTER );
      
 }
