Comment:

 Tricky since both the select and the input have completely unknown width.

 I'm not sure what the best (non-JS) solution is here; my CSS-fu isn't
 strong enough.

 I think the "right" thing to do would be to tell those two elements (the
 select and the input) to fill up up to 100% of the available width and no
 more.  If they need more room, the input should get as much as it needs,
 and the select should be truncated.

 I don't have any idea how to do that.

 I've experimented a bit with setting both element's max-width to be ~50%.
 This is a bad approximation to the above algorithm that works well enough
 in FF.  I'll test it in other browsers before sending a patch.

 If someone has a better solution, please grab this ticket and patch it.
