[Wayne Stambaugh <stambaughw@xxxxxxxxx>]

Here is the list of issues so far (see attached image):

The drop down expands downward until the bottom of the desktop with no
scrollbar.

I cannot make the dropdown return to it's closed state unless I select an .

The drop down stays on top of every open application

I can close the dialog with the drop down open and the dropdown doesn't
get closed so I have an orphaned dropdown control which is a rather
amusing side effect.

Maybe we should revert back to a stock dropdown and live without type
ahead find until we move to a later version of wxwidgets.

Cheers,

Wayne
