Dropdown width for Multi-select parameters

How can I control the width of the dropdown for multi-select
parameters? It seems to be showing up equal width dropdowns
irrespective of the size of the text. The problem crops up when the
length of the text for any option exceeds the default length, I get an
ugly horizontal scroll bar.
I can have a temporary fix by abbreviating the text content, but that
is not a long-term option.

As far as I know, there's not a way to control the width of the drop-
down parameter. That said, it might be possible to modify the
underlying XML in the RDL file in some way that has not been readily
documented.

format / pad with spaces for display field from the sql query, so that the
display field can be in the required size, but the value is same.
