Details:

uimenus in Octave take the whole height of the specified uicontrol which can
end up looking quite bad as in the lower panel in the attached code. In Matlab
the popupmenu height is always fixed to the height of the string/text. Also
Matlab popupmenu background default is white while in Octave I assume its
inherited from the parent.



f = figure( 'toolbar', 'none' );
p1 = uipanel( 'parent', f, 'position', [0 1-1/8 1 1/8], 'title', 'title1' );
p2 = uipanel( 'parent', f, 'position', [0 0 1 1/2], 'title', 'title2' );
c1 = uicontrol( 'parent', p1, 'units', 'normalized', 'position', [0 0 1 1],
'style', 'popupmenu', 'string', {'1' '2' '3' '4' '5'} );
c2 = uicontrol( 'parent', p2, 'units', 'normalized', 'position', [0 0 1 1],
'style', 'popupmenu', 'string', {'a' 'b' 'c' 'd' 'e'} );
