combo dropdown

I have a form with a combo box and when it (combo) gets focus I issue
a .dropdown. Using A2K and SP1 everything works fine and the list
drops down under the control as expected. If I use a PC with SP3 the
dropdown actually pops up over the combo box covering it completely.
Same exact form and source code in both examples. Anyone ever seen
anything like this before?

Sometimes it's just not worth trying to support non-standard behavior.
Comment out your code, and tell your users about the dropdown button
next to the dropdown list, and about the Alt+CurDown keystroke.
