very nice plugin, thank you:)

Thanks I've made it because I wanted to use it

I can confirm that bug! And it only happens with your box!

Screenshots or/and your Layout would be much appreciated! I really can't do anything if I don't know how to reproduce the problem. I need more information: what system do you use (XP/2000/ +SP?), are you using Windows Themes, what version of Columns UI do you use, what options ('Set max height'??) are checked, etc.

I guess it only happens with my box because it is the only 'Combobox' component (except 'Playback order'), and maybe there has never been chance for the bug to occur. We'll see.

By the way: i tested playlists dropdown only in sidebar. Perhaps this is the problem. When i am at home i will look into it!

'Sidebar'?? There is no sidebar in new Columns UI (v0.1.3 beta 1v5 for now). Are you sure you are using the newest version of this component? If not, please install the newest available version of Columns UI and check whether the problem still occurs.
