Hi @lone seal. I'm kapa.ai, your friendly support bot. I will try to answer your question by searching through the knowledge base. :wave:

Based on the information provided in the knowledge sources, I can offer some suggestions to help you adjust the width of the SelectMenu popper without affecting the button width in Nuxt UI. Here are a few approaches you can try:

Use the width prop:
You can use the width prop on the USelectMenu component to set a specific width for the popper. This should not affect the button width. For example:
```
<USelectMenu :options="options" width="w-48" />
```
This approach is mentioned in the SelectMenu documentation.
Customize the uiMenu prop:
You can override the default menu config using the uiMenu prop. This allows you to set a custom width for the popper container. For example:
```
<USelectMenu 
  :options="options" 
  :uiMenu="{ container: 'z-20 group w-48' }"
/>
```
This approach is mentioned in the SelectMenu documentation.

Use the popper prop:
The SelectMenu component allows you to customize the popper instance using the popper prop. You might be able to use this to adjust the width of the popper. For example:

<USelectMenu 
  :options="options" 
  :popper="{ 
    modifiers: [
      {
        name: 'setWidth',
        enabled: true,
        phase: 'beforeWrite',
        requires: ['computeStyles'],
        fn: ({ state }) => {
          state.styles.popper.width = '200px';
        },
        effect: ({ state }) => {
          state.elements.popper.style.width = '200px';
        }
      }
    ]
  }"
/>

This approach is inspired by the SelectMenu documentation, although the specific modifier is a custom solution.

Custom CSS:
As a last resort, you could try adding a custom CSS class to the popper element to override its width. This might require inspecting the rendered HTML to target the correct element.

Remember that these are suggestions based on the available documentation, and you might need to experiment to find the best solution for your specific use case. If these approaches don't work, you might need to consider alternative layouts or components to achieve your desired design.

Regarding your concern about putting the SelectMenu inside a Popover, while it might not be ideal, it's a valid approach if other methods don't achieve the desired result. The Nuxt UI components are designed to be flexible and composable, so nesting them is generally supported.
