BUG in toolstrip controls that use generics

PJ6
This would have been better if I could have just implemented an interface or
two to author my own toolstrip controls... but no, I have to inherit from
just the existing ones. Fine, I thought...

Public Class GenericToolStri pComboBox(Of ItemType As New)
Inherits System.Windows. Forms.ToolStrip ComboBox

Generic combo boxes are sooo convenient, I really wanted to have them in my
toolstrip, too. So the first one I add of a particular type, I get the
exception below.

Charmingly, if I'm not in debug mode, this message pops up in an infinite
loop and I have to kill the process with Task Manager.

I want this fixed.

OK my bad, sort of. I had support transparent colors set to true, and
apparently the combo box in general (whether in a toolstrip or not) just
won't have any of that. It's not exactly news that the base combo class is
buggy... so never mind. *gumble*

The ToolStrip on top of my form is to small. I want to increase its height. Simply setting the Height-property doesn't change the height, though. So I tried to place the ToolStrip in a ToolStripPanel, that does react to changes in its Height-property, and by setting the Dock-property of the contained ToolStrip to DockStyle.Fill, I expected the ToolStrip to fill the entire ToolStripPanel. Nope. See the code below, it is ready to run.
