Combobox resizes when printed

This is a cross-post with the ND 6 and 7 forum.

I have a table with 5 columns and 20 rows. In the fourth column are fields of type combobox.

I have set both the column width and the (combobox) field width to 1.6 inches fixed width.

Everything works fine - UNTIL I hit print. Then the comboboxes resize the table. The table extends off the right end of the printed page - THEN - the document itself assumes the distorted table size and saves with it intact - even in the Notes client.

If I change the field to a dialog list - it doesn’t happen.

I have never seen this before, but I must admit, I haven’t really had much call for comboboxes in the first place. I remember when they first arrived on the scene, and I think someone told me what the chief reason for its use was.

Has anyone seen this happen and if so - can you suggest how to fix / get around this?

TIA

Subject: solved in the Notes 6,7 forum

comboboxes resize to the length of the langest item in them.
