This is something that already bothers me a while, i think it never
really worked as expected, but i am not sure if it is a "my machine
only" kind of problem.
From http://www.gtk.org/api/2.6/gtk/GtkComboBox.html
"The style in which the selected value is displayed, and the style of
the popup is determined by the current theme. It may be similar to a
GtkOptionMenu, or similar to a Windows-style combo box."
So probably it can be changed in the theme (or only the look and color,
but not that behavior), but all themes I have here (Fedora 3) have it
the way you experience and dislike. The purpose is to have the currently
selected option right in the place where the option menu is, so you can
click it to see other options and click in the same place again not
changing anything (instead of clicking somewhere else in the window or
hitting Esc). Anyways, it's not Fedora-specific.
It's silly -- you click on the combobox to see what other options are
and yet you don't see them! util of course you move the mouse to the
bottom of the screen, wait for the whole list to scroll up (never mind
that there was enough space on screen to display all option in the first
place) and only then you can decide whether you actually want to change
the option. Now how on Earth can you save any time or effort of moving
cursor some place else in the window to click to cancel? Very smart...
I dislike this "design" too :(
