Form select initial display cut off in IE9

When using the accordian with forms where the select field initial values are pre-selected, the values are cut off at the end. For instance, if the select field is an age group where the pre-selected age is "40", only "4" shows up until the select drop-down is clicked on. Also, if the text in the select is a word, the last letter of the longest word in the select options are cut off until the select drop-down is clicked on. This is not happening in prior versions of IE nor is this happenig in all versions of FireFox, Safari and Opera that I tested.
