Hi...

I have a little problem with TComboBox. I'd like to have some
TComboBox(es) with custom and various height. I don't know why Lazarus
seems to lock TComboBox's height, to 21pix using csDropDownXXX style
or to 24pix using csOwnerDrawXXX. I have tried to modify the Height
and/or ItemHeight property manually through Object Inspector, but I
got no luck. Nothing mentioned in the FPC or Lazarus documentation
regarding this behaviour.

Just for a comparison... in Delphi, I would simply set its style to
csOwnerDrawXXX and I can set its height to any values I wanted (except
negative values, of couse).

I got this problem using Lazarus 0.9.18 (also with previous versions),
FPC 2.0.4, WinXP SP 2, Intel 32-bit. Never tried this on Linux (Suse
10.1) yet.

I'd appreciate any kind of help/hint/explanation about this. Thank
you.

Tested on linux gtk. There I can choose any height (alltough the
dropdown popsup at the wrong place)

Sounds like a bug, please bugrep this. Bugs reported here will be
forgotten
