Title: “Bug: Selector Control Renders Full-Width and Blocks Horizontal Alignment in Taipy 4.0.2”
Description:
“In Taipy 4.0.2, the selector control (e.g., <|{value}|selector|...|width=120px|> in a <|layout|> or <|part|> with flex) renders as a full-width block element, ignoring width settings (e.g., width=70px, width=120px) and preventing horizontal alignment with input controls in layouts like columns or flex. This forces selector elements to occupy separate lines, even with flex-direction:row or max-content.”

Provide steps to reproduce:
Create a Taipy GUI with mixed input and selector controls, e.g.:
python
Wrap
Copy
from taipy.gui import Gui

first_name = ""
status = None

statuses = ["Open", "Closed", "Pending"]

page = """
<|layout|columns=2|
<|{first_name}|input|label=First Name|width=120px|>
<|{status}|selector|lov={statuses}|dropdown|label=Status|width=120px|>
|>
"""

if name == "main":
Gui(page).run(title="Test Layout")

Observe that "First Name" (input) stays at 120px on one line, but "Status" (selector) renders full-width on a separate line, ignoring width=120px.
Include your environment: “Taipy 4.0.2, Python 3.x, Windows 10, using pip install taipy==4.0.2.”
Mention the impact: “This limitation prevents compact, one-line layouts for forms mixing input and selector, requiring workarounds like multi-line layouts or full-width selectors.”
Labels: Add “🐛 BUG,” “GUI,” and “Priority: Medium” (or “High” if critical for your use case), based on Taipy’s issue labels (e.g., from web results like #2377, #2262).
Assignees: Optionally mention Taipy maintainers (e.g., @Avaiga/taipy-team) if you know them, but GitHub will route it to the community.
