Hi

It seems to me that it depends on the toolkit used. I mean, if you use 
gb.gui (with gnome desktop) or gb.gtk, the underlying desktop manager 
uses that behavior in the comboboxes. But if you change to gb.qt4, you 
will notice the differences.

Let change to gb.qt4 and you will see a "normal" combobox.
