Error description

• On CQWeb, a combo box control is displayed in FireFox
  differently as opposed to the expected behavior that can be seen
  with Internet Explorer or the Windows and RCP  clients. While in
  these clients the control is displayed with the size that it has
  been set in the designer and includes a scroll bar if needed,
  FireFox re-sizes it so that all the entries in the list fit in
  it. With long lists this leads to big boxes that may overlap
  other controls in the form.
  
  Steps to reproduce:
  - Modify the SAMPL db with CQ Designer adding multiple "Project"
  records.
  - Logon CQWeb selecting and modifying a Defect
  - In the first tab: Project > select from the drop down list a
  value
  - On IE, the list of projects is contained in a box of a defined
  size and that it includes a scroll bar, as expected
  - On FireFox, the list is bigger, just enough to contain the
  complete list of projects and it displays, remaining
  open/overlapping on top of the form even after selecting a value
  and until the record is saved.
