In IE (I've only tried IE 11), for a chosen select with lots of options, if the drop down is clicked once and then the items are cleared from the list, the updated empty drop-down becomes massively long.

This is only seen when one of the divs where select element is nested has width specified specified in non-percentage value:

.outerdiv {
    width: 25em;
}

or

.outerdiv {
    width: 250px;
}

However, if I change width of all the divs, where select is nested, to a percentage value, the issue is not seen.

.outerdiv {
    width: 90%;
}

The problem is my select is actually in a bootstrap's modal where I don't have control on the widths of the parent elements.
