Yes. I saw it once (and bugzillaed it), and it has come into the tech 
queue a couple of times too. One of the RR people also reports he's seen 
it. The problem is -- no one can reproduce it at will, and restarting 
the app clears the problem. If you get a recipe, do tell. I haven't been 
able to reproduce it again since it happened that one time, and I don't 
know what triggered it.

By the way, it isn't just combo boxes. I saw it in the dictionary and 
inspector.
