What is the style property of the control, and what is the value of its 
menuLines property set to?

I just made an option control and set the menulines to 40, and it works 
well on XP:  when popped up while positioned lower in the display than 
can accommodate 40 items, it positions the menu so that the bottom is at 
the bottom of the windowboundingRect; no clipping at all, all parts of 
the control available, responds well to arrow keys.
