Resize dropdown bug (OpenInsight Specific)

A little bug on 3.7.4.

Add a dropdown to a form, and make Autosize Width=true.

Run the form and open the dropdown.

Maximise the form and open the dropdown.

Restore the form to its normal state (ie not maximised).

Open the dropdown, and it opens to the maximised size.

Not a major issue, but please check for the next release.

Thanks

Colin

Colin,

By golly you're right! You don't even have to maximize the form. Just resize it larger and then smaller. Same affect.

Also, I'll occasionally use a dropdown with a large "tail" which will automatically view the other way round (ie. from control ypos -] up) if there is not enough room on the screen to display the dropdown including tail, eg. dropdown is positioned along bottom of the form.

To do this you have to position the control manually using the mouse. Normally it works great - EXCEPT if the control is "bottom anchored" and you want the form to be resizable - doing the above DISABLES manual form resizing. It still allows maximising, however this control will reposition not based on its current y-position from the bottom of the form, but including its "tail", which is not good ;)
