This is a bug in IE, and there is no way to solve it, apart from making the select box wider:

<select style="width: 500px;">
  <option value="1">
    This is a very long option, but it's cool, cause the select is also very long
  </option>
</select>

Another alternative is to use a framework that will replace the selectbox with a styled combination of other elements. They will behave like a selectbox, but require javascript to work.
