&lt;p&gt;&lt;span id="mce_0_start" style="overflow:hidden;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;When creating estimates we have a problem because the sales description in the Item drop-down list gets truncated and the user can&amp;#39;t see the full description. &lt;span id="mce_1_start" style="overflow:hidden;"&gt;&lt;span id="mce_2_start" style="overflow:hidden;"&gt;Many of our items have an identifier at the end of the description indicating if the tem is discounted or if it is a promo item.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;This causes the user to have to add the item to the grid to see the full de&lt;span id="mce_3_start" style="overflow:hidden;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;scription&amp;nbsp;and then rinse and repeat if it wasn&amp;#39;t the correct one. We have a ton of items and the FullName isn&amp;#39;t any help because it it a SKU from the manufacturer that does not inticate what the actual item is.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span id="mce_1_start" style="overflow:hidden;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;Is there any way to increase the number of characters displayed in a drop-down column, or supress truncating? If not, is there any way that mousing ove&lt;span id="mce_5_start" style="overflow:hidden;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;r the item that is truncated could show the full value?&lt;span id="mce_8_start" style="overflow:hidden;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="overflow:hidden;"&gt;Regards,&lt;br /&gt;Aaron J. Wood&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
