Twitter Bootstrap column definition is not properly applied to Kendo DropDown

Question

I have created a fiddle where you can see that the size of the Kendo DropDown is not set as expected.

How I have to modify the code to get the expected behaviour?

regards

HTML Code:

<form class="form-horizontal" role="form">
    <div class="form-group">
        <label for="inputEmail3" class="col-sm-2 control-label">Email</label>
        <div class="col-sm-10">
            <input type="email" class="form-control" id="inputEmail3" placeholder="Email" />
        </div>
    </div>
    <div class="form-group">
        <label for="inputPassword3" class="col-sm-2 control-label">Password</label>
        <div class="col-sm-10">
            <input type="password" class="form-control" id="inputPassword3" placeholder="Password" />
        </div>
    </div>
    <div class="form-group">
        <label for="dropdown" class="col-sm-2 control-label">DropDown</label>
        <div class="col-sm-10">
            <select id="dropdown">
                <option>Option 1</option>
                <option>Option 2</option>
                <option>Option 3</option>
                <option>Option 4</option>
                <option>Option 5</option>
                <option>Option 6</option>
                <option>Option 7</option>
            </select>
        </div>
    </div>
    <div class="form-group">
        <div class="col-sm-offset-2 col-sm-10">
            <div class="checkbox">
                <label>
                    <input type="checkbox"/> Remember me
                </label>
            </div>
        </div>
    </div>
    <div class="form-group">
        <div class="col-sm-offset-2 col-sm-10">
            <button type="submit" class="btn btn-default">Sign in</button>
        </div>
    </div>
</form>

Javascript:

$(document).ready(function() {
    $("#dropdown").kendoDropDownList();
});

The problem is the k-dropdown has a fixed width of 12.4em, thus the col-sm-10 is not able to give it the width it should, simply overwrite that CSS with:

.k-dropdown{
    width: 100%;
}

That should make the dropdown fill according to the width of its parent container.
