gtkComboBox problem

[Caleb Werner <caleb sermonspice com>]

I'm utilizing a combo_box in my application and am experiencing... difficulties with it...

1. When opened, the box extends to the top and bottom of my screen (I assume due to the amount of items contained within it)
2. Since the selected item is positioned at the same place on the y-axis as the box itself, when opened there is just gray, blank space in the box where no items exist.

Any ideas on what I can do to solve this? there is no model connected to this box, by the way.

Any help is appreciated. Thanks!
