Strange behavior when opening frop down lists in dialog boxes

[Pat Christenson]

Hi Leah -

I had the same problem. Do you have the display theme set to Windows  
Classic? That's what was causing it for me. I had to change the theme  
to Windows XP (which I don't like but at least the menus work  
correctly).
