I have a Swing drop-down list I'm trying to modify. It currently uses
the DefaultCellEditor and generally does OK for the list. It is often
too narrow to show all the information in the list already, but as a
user, I have an idea vaguely what is what in that list. However, there
is a full list of alternatives to each in the drop-down list, and
they're hard to tell apart in the same narrow boundaries.

I was hoping that there's a way to make the cell editor expand past the
boundaries of the column its editing whenever the pull-down is activated.
