Allow Nodereference autocomplete field size to be changed [#399778]

I would like to insert a nodereference autocomplete field in a form on a module I am writing. It is working with the exception of being able to specify the field length. My code is below. I just need to figure out how to set the field length.

        $form['quick_ticket']['user'] = array(
          '#type' => 'nodereference_autocomplete',
          '#title' => 'User',
          '#default_value' => variable_get('module_var', NULL),
          '#autocomplete_path' => 'nodereference/autocomplete/field_user',
          '#field_name' => 'field_user',
          '#description' => 'Description',
          '#size' => 25,
        );

BTW, '#size' => 25, does not work. I just forgot to take it out.

Same issue. Why don't nodereference fields allow their width to be changed? On the HTML level, they are a an input type "text" with a size attribute, but that seems hardcoded at 60 right now.

Sorry-- I didn't notice this issue was originally filed in entirely the wrong queue until I went to check on it and couldn't find it. This is a CCK issue, not Views!

The above patch will apply from the root of the CCK directory, making a change to nodereference.module.
