Check, with the dialog editor, if there is another control that 
in some situations is displayed above your combo-box. It could 
be a rest from your process of creating the dialog box, not used 
in the program any longer. It could also be a control which is 
larger than it must be. Look at this for example: 

				----------------
		        Item A	| XXXX     | v |
=====================================-----------
| Static text                       |
=====================================
				----------------
		        Item B  | XXX      | v |
				----------------

The static text does not need to be longer than to the end of 
"text", but the control is defined to be shown size. 

I hope this helped you. I have had a number of similar 
problems myself.
