Yes, and this varies by browser version as well.

Since the option elements are inside a select element, what should really
happen? By CSS specifications, the contents of select overflows, and
overflow is visible by default; the select box width should not change. We
can speculate about possible browser style sheet that make the observed
behavior nominally acceptable, but the bottom line is that you cannot
expect anything consistent here.

Hardly. But if you want 120px width for a select menu, why don't you set
that width, instead of trying to override the select width in inner
elements (which really _shouldn't_ work, by CSS specs).
