Combobox oddity

A combobox with a value list derived from one data provider value displays a single triangle in the blue area of the field (bottom field).

A combobox with a value list derived from TWO data provider values displays a double triangle in the blue area of the field (top field).

OS 10.3.2, Servoy 1.2

Do you see those 2 types of comboboxes also in other (native mac) apps?

What do you mean a valulist derived from one or two dataproviders?
Do you mean that with 2 you just concat 2 values of 2 dataproviders and display those? That shouldn’t matter at all.. Because what we give to the combobox is the same. (just a buch of strings)

Yea, both types of combo boxes are native to the mac.

I click on “database values”. If I use one field to fill the value list, I get one type of combobox. If I use more than one field for the value list, I get the other type of combobox.

I agree, strange. I suspect an Apple Java oddity.
