Safari was not showing the number of visible items in Dropdown to what i had defined the HTML select tag rather it was showing all the elements in the drop down options. This was weird and surprising to me . Below are different results of my tries . It seems that whatever the number of size you give as visible items Safari will always show 4 itmes .
