The default size for the menu that drops down from a combo box is 0 in Win2k. So if you click the arrow to drop down a menu (such as the "Source" and "Destination" paths in the Rebuilder screen) you get a useless little sliver instead of a menu.

Microsoft apparently fixed the problem in WinXP and set the default value to something reasonable. I haven't tried ClrMAME under WinXP, but I've seen this bug in other apps and I'd be willing to bet it works fine there.

This is with CMPro 3.72 under Win2k with SP4. The top crop is before clicking the down arrow in the combo box. The bottom crop is after clicking it, do you see the black line?

I didn't care about the bug, I never used the combo boxes and I don't think I'll ever use them, but wanted to help you with what the guy was saying, and I was a bored Win2k user...

Next time I'm sending the snaps to Yaniel for fixing.

hehehe...well..thanks for the pictures....it's not even considered as a bug. An empty combobox shows that line.....if you got no entries in IE's addressbox, it will pop up half the screen with nothing in it...well...taste differs...
I can live with both ways....I changed it popup an empty box....since I didn't find a way to completely hide it.
