it's not too big open combobox and you will see that it take the maximum size. It's too small, but I don't know which minimum size used. Size depend from country number of digit depend from country.
Hi, In the german translation the size determing entry is "Bevorzugte Telefonnummer" (preferred number). Why not shortening this to "Bevorzugte ..." and showing the whole only on mouse over? I think, showing the whole number is far more important than showing every entry of dropdown menu. A typical german mobile number (including country code) has 13-15 digits, so i would assume, that that's a reasonable starting point. I think that would probably suffice for most countries and even if it doesn't you'll keep at least 80 % of the number in view. Please note that it gets even worse if one has more than four numbers as the appearing scrollbar further reduces the size of the number field. There's plenty of free space in the internet pane on the right side, can't you use that?

I increase minimum size it's better but not good for all users.
