I just ran into that same problem again, when embedding the EDS into
FileSender (which I had done and solved before).

>From idpselect.js the JavaScript-generated HTML code ends up like that
in the browser (according to Chromium):

  <div class="IdPSelectDropDown" style="visibility: hidden; width: 0px;"></div>

It's the "width: 0px" that causes the uglyness.

The responsible JavaScript seems to be

  this.dropDown.style.width=this.textBox.offsetWidth

but I have not yet tracked down why this.textBox.offsetWidth is 0px in
this particular case. (On the old system I previously integrated this
successfully there is no such width statement being generated.)
