Jumbled Combobox elements

Classic Servoy
1

Dear all

I have a client who uses a solution that I built, which has a series of comboboxes in a few table views.

On one of these, two of the users have the elements in the combobox jumbled together, see attached screen grab.

My own machine shows the combobox normally, and I don’t know what is different about these particular client machines.

These are all running smart client on Mac with Java 1.7, and Servoy Server 7.4.2

Thanks for any help.

Im am not a Mac expert, but you could try to change to other controls like typeahead or listbox, if possible, and see what happens then.
How is the valuelist of that combobox populated?

Thanks Bernd. Apologies, this is a type ahead. It retrieves its values through a relation. However, I don’t think the issue is a function of the field type, but rather of a graphical issue on a particular version of Mac OS X and Java. These fields look perfectly normal on other machines (running later versions of OS X)… All other value list based fields work normally.

Yes, I agree, it does not look as it is related to Servoy.
However if an update of those machines is not an option, I would try to put a second column right of the problem column, with another field type.
When that works, it would be easy to code a small switch for each user in the onShow() of the form:
if (firstShow) {
elements.typeahead_column.visible = _to_persons$current_user.b_typeahead_column === 1;
elements.combobox_column.visible = ! elements.typeahead_column.visible;
}
