It's actually a cross-platform issue; option buttons on Windows don't pop up
with the selected choice like they do in Mac OS, so from a Windows
perspective, combo boxes and option button are both consistent and the Mac
option button is the "oddity".

;D

I don't usually use LC's combo boxes - I made a custom version of my own
with a field and a truncated option button and I've used that in a handful
of projects.
