Just how much text are you trying to display in your dropdown? A dropdown content control can easily display more than 200 characters! And even that's excessive, IMHO.

In any event, if a user can't see all the text associated with a selection, selecting it will display the lot, after which they can change their selection if they decide it doesn't suit.
