It seems like the menu is very pushy towards the currently selected value…  
If I don’t click my selection quickly, it will not accept the new value.  
I’m not sure if it was always like this or if I need to change some property but it’s pretty annoying the way you interact with the component with your mouse.  
The arrow keys work nicely though.

Are you using a SQL query binding to populate the dropdown list? If so, you’ll want to make sure polling is off.

ok, I turned many of them off and increased the poll rate on the one I need to update itself.  
Thanks
