Dropdown list not appearing correct in script UI

[Maple Stirrup]

Is there a way to fix this so that all options are readable?

Do you use auto layout or fixed sizes?

Hi,

I am not sure how did you create this and what sizes you have picked. Did you use jsx to create a UI or HTML/CSS.

Here is a snippet that will give you an idea for adobe Script UI(JSX) not HTML/CSS

var dialog = new Window("dialog");
dialog.text = "Dialog";
dialog.preferredSize.width = 400;
dialog.orientation = "column";
dialog.alignChildren = ["left", "top"];
dialog.spacing = 10;
dialog.margins = 16;

var _list_array = ["Long Text Testing", "Small Text", "Very Long Text Testing", "3"];
var _list = dialog.add("dropdownlist", undefined, undefined, { name: "_list", items: _list_array });
_list.selection = 0;
_list.alignment = ["left", "top"];

dialog.show();

Let us know if this works for you or share your code so that we can help you out in that.

It's just one line of code, all jsx, I'll have to play some more with those options, thanks!

w.grp5.add ("dropdownlist", undefined, ["Approximate Space", "Number"]);

ok, may be you have given some width to the gorup or some other property, because you are adding the dropdownList inside the group. or you can try above snippet and change as per your requirement.

So this is what I see when I run your code... I can't scroll down to see the 4th option of "3". 

I'm not sure what the problem is exactly.

Try adjusting Preferences > User Interface > UI Scaling to the smallest setting. I had this same issue and that fixed it.

Hope that helps.

it's a known issue, the problem was introduced a few versions ago. Unfortunately there's no solution for it, other than replacing the dropdown with a list.

also if you have a relatively short list, you can add one or two "dummy" (blank) entries at the end. Usually one empty entry at the end should do.

I have strange behaviour, noticed today.

I think till yesterday it was black background behind the list in Photoshop too. I just tried now. It looks like this.
