How to set max-height of dropdown selection area?

Specifying height:50px is limiting the select to 50px. Use min-height instead. Also wrap the select element in a div with fixed height so that it'll overlap on content below and not push it down.

.select-wrapper {
  height: 50px;
  overflow-y: visible;
}

.select {
  width: 100%;
  /* make it min-height*/
  min-height: 50px;
  border-radius: 25px;
  border-color: #555;
  padding: 10px;
}

<span>Select height is limited to 8 options.</span>
<div class="select-wrapper form-column form-column-field">
  <select data-no-search="" data-placeholder="Выбрать год" onfocus="this.size=8;" onblur="this.size=1;" onchange="this.size=1; this.blur();" class="select select-no-search">

Height of an HTML select box (dropdown)

Confirmed.

The part that drops down is set to either:

The height needed to show all entries, or
The height needed to show x entries (with scrollbars to see remaining), where x is
- 20 in Firefox & Chrome
- 30 in IE 6, 7, 8
- 16 for Opera 10
- 14 for Opera 11
- 22 for Safari 4
- 18 for Safari 5
- 11 in IE 5.0, 5.5
In IE/Edge, if there are no options, a stupidly high list of 11 blanks entries.
