[Gambas-user] Combobox behavior with long lists

[Alain Baudrez]

Jesus,

the funny thing is that I use gb.qt4 and I have this very long top to
bottom list in Linux Mint 17 Mate.

Maybe it is not 100% depending on the toolkit used.

Those are my settings:

[System]
Gambas=3.5.4
OperatingSystem=Linux
Kernel=3.13.0-24-generic
Architecture=x86_64
Distribution=Linux Mint 17 Qiana
Desktop=MATE
Theme=QGtk
Language=nl_BE.UTF-8
Memory=3686M
[Libraries]
Cairo=libcairo.so.2.11301.0
Curl=libcurl.so.4.3.0
DBus=libdbus-1.so.3.7.6
GStreamer=libgstreamer-0.10.so.0.30.0
GStreamer=libgstreamer-1.0.so.0.204.0
GTK+=libgtk-x11-2.0.so.0.2400.23
OpenGL=libGL.so.1.2.0
Poppler=libpoppler.so.44.0.0
Qt4=libQtCore.so.4.8.6
