All,
I noticed that the problem was expounded upon later.
Yes, thank you Chris, I realize what widgets people use is out of our hands. Thanks for that. :)
First and foremost, if this is happening it is, without and doubt, a
bug in NSPopUpButton. That's not what I was saying earlier.
:)
What I was trying to say is that, from a GUI usability perspective, I
don't think that using the NSPopUpButton widget is the best choice to
display a REALLY REALLY long list of items, especially if that list is
going to be longer than the screen. As a user, that would
bother me, since it would constantly have to scroll down or up the item
in a very awkward way.
It's perhaps better to use a NSTableView to display the list or a NSBrowser.
Later,

If it happens in other people's software, like GNUMail, it's out of
your hands...
