Items in List box are not visible

In windows form I just created a ListBox.
Added some items with String Collection Editor.
When I run it - these entries are not visible.
When I Expand Drop down I see empty space only. If I click
on any line down there the item goes to the first line and
becomes visible.
Sounds very weird and I have no idea why it works like
this.
I've already developed a few web applications and didn't
have any problems.
This is my first windows-based project and I stuck on
something simple.
Any ideas will be appreciated.

Alan,

Is the font in your list box the background color of the listbox? That
way, the items would only be visible when selected.

I used default options:
Background color: white
Foreground color: black
Not sure about font - checked this property - couldn't
find anything related to color.
When item is selected from blank-looking space below it
goes to the very top and becomes visible.

Alan.
