I have this issue as follows:
Modify a form class (or form).
Open up any method code.
At the top of the code editing window there are 'Object' and 'Procedure'
drop-downs, to allow selection of other objects, or other methods on the
form.
When I click these, the drop-down goes upwards instead of down, meaning
I can't see the top entries as they are off the screen.
As far as I can tell it doesn't seem to be a known issue with Vista/7.
My version is 09.00.0000.7423

Do you have multiple monitors? Does this behavior happen on the other one?

I have many issues with menus and VFP9 any SP. Some appear as a box and
don't show items until I mouse over. (in compiled exe's). Some are long and
don't allow down and up properly. A mess really.

I recently observed where the combo drop-down disconnects from the combobox and goes up in a production app. I didn't
consider the possibility of the 64-bit OS in the mix. What I did find is if I reduce the number of items in the
drop-down that the problem went away. Does your form/class have a lot of objects and methods

Allen,
There is a workaround to this problem. Place the following code to run once
in the beginning of your application.
*-- Workaround for Vista Dropdown problems
*-- When running Vista, make it work right!!!!
IF OS(3) = "6"
DECLARE integer GdiSetBatchLimit IN WIN32API integer
GdiSetBatchLimit(1)
ENDIF
As for the dropdowns going up, I've not seen that myself.
