If I understand correctly, you are calling 'menu' what is
usually called 'dialog'.

And here you are calling menu what is usually called
a combobox, right ? Called this way because it's an
aggregation of a text box and a list.

Try to run with -debugmsg +combo and post the console output
when you click on the combobox arrow. Comboboxes not
dropping can be caused roughly by 2 reasons :
- the app can't find any data to add to the list : look at
the trace before if you can find CB_ADDSTRING messages.
- the list height is not set because of some weirdness
in the combo behaviour  - comboboxes are difficult to
emulate.
