Hope you have checked the Size & Overflow properties of the Value Prompt? If you have defined Size & Overflow, can remove and run as default and see?

You may change the Size& Overflow than other List Box prompt and see it helps? At the end, if you are getting the same shape as your other list box, then doesn't matter how much size you have defined. Correct?

That's probably the issue.  5 pixels on a screen which is probably set at 1024 pixel resolution (or higher) leaves no room for the prompt to be rendered.  Try increasing the width to 100 pixels.

I believe 5.2 pixel can't show a value prompt fully, no matter if it is List box or drop down... As MF suggested at least increase to 100 to be able to see the data in it :)

I highly suggest making width changes in the browser using Developer Tools or Firebug to fine-tune pixel amounts. Will save you loads of time while designing.
