I agree with this change since that way the buttons don't really shift depending on the width of the selected value. This is even more relevant on languages where those strings are longer.

But it seems like max-width is not necessary?

Suggested change
#post-status-select select {
max-width: 100%;
width: 100%;
}
#post-status-select select {
width: 100%;
}

Good point. I removed max-width. I kept display: block and margin-bottom so the OK/Cancel controls sit below the full-width select without requiring a markup wrapper.
