-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Wow, yeah, that's an issue... I guess that what should be done is have the "center on currently selected item" rule go away when the combo box would have to be scrolled because it hits the edge of the screen. Also, is there a maximum size for combo boxes? I wouldn't want a combo box filling up my screen, so there should be some percentage of the screen size where it starts to scroll.
