  '<congos install>/c8/webcontent/prompting/properties.js'
  - Customer has a reports having 'Search and Select' prompt with
  'Multislect' set to 'Yes'

  prompt list boxes should expand to accommodate the long string
  in both list boxes, right ( Result) and left ( Options).

  'Results' does not expand to accommodate the long string,
  however, right list box 'Options' does expand to accommodate the
  long string.
