It is not a Delphi issue, but it is (or at least was) a Win(32 ?) issue.

For some odd reason, the height of a combo is the Edit area +
DropDownHeight.
At least that was what I thought. I've reread the the MSDN about comboboxes
and nowhere is stated that the height is fixed. I think it is possible to
set the heigtht of the edit area.

Speaking of, I've been playing with it in the past and the only issue which
comes into mind is that when the edit area height is less then the internal
editor height, the editor is not shown. I cant recall if it was on all
platforms or just win311/win95/NT351/NT4
