Hi Phil,
I'm back. For some reason it seems to work well for me. I'm using Alt+Key down to open the list and it's open where it should.
Can you tell me which version of the suite you use? There is a small chance that I already fixed it before.

Hello Boki,
It is the current version, v6.6.0. I didn't know about the hot key combination Alt+AnyKey to dropdown the combobox. It does not dropdown the combobox list for me, either with the AutoDropdown property true or false. Are you thinking of other control, rather than the NxDBComboboxColumn6 control?
In the Next Suite v5 any key would dropdown the combobox list - we suggest to our users that they use the spacebar - then with the up and down arrows they can enter and edit information using just the keyboard.
This issue may seem a trivial bug, but for users in an office environment, with routine data entry tasks, the ability to use the data grids with the keyboard only (rather than the very slow alternative of keyboard and mouse) is essential.
One other small point: the ListWidth property is ignored when the dropdown list is triggered by the mouse; but it is recognized when the dropdown list is triggered by the keyboard. This may help you in understanding where the code between the two trigger methods diverge.
Best wishes for the new year,
PhilW.
