Picker display width

Is there a a way to control the width of the display in the Picker?
The screenshot is from the SDK picker sample, running in the sim on an F5 showing the clipping of the word "Layout".
The same problem occurs on the device.
I can't find any way to manage the width of the display. (I tried the Ui.Text::width property but it made no difference)
Although the display field is not clipped on a VA-HR device (unable to post photo) community.garmin.com/.../1456699.png

I'm pretty sure you can't. The width is fixed if I recall. To fit more info (like 2 digits vs 1) you use a smaller font.

I ran into this same issue when I started using Menu2's. It really doesn't work for strings. I ended up just using a sub menu for my strings, instead of a picker. For me at least, that was a better solution anyways. But if you have end cases, like a series of numbers to pick from, but want to display a special string for 0, this does't work very well.

I'm trying to remember the details, but I believe I also tried doing something where I drew the strings myself with dc.draw... It was definitely a hack and trying to keep track of the select item was a hassle. Clearly not how the picker was intended to be used here.
