>>>>Have run into occasions where on some computers, comboboxes and dropdown lists don't function quite right. In particular if you use a mouse, you can click on the control, the list does appear, but clicking on an item in the list does not make a selection when you click on a list item (i.e. the list is dismissed w/o making a selection). On the other hand, if you use the keyboard you can indeed make a selection. Does anybody have an idea of what may be causing this issue ?

Indeed I do remember some of the weird problems that occur with some mouse drivers -- but that was waaaay back in the PC/MS-DOS days. Often if you tried to use "no-name" or "off-brand" mouse, the provided mouse driver TSR was often buggy (and in many cases, it was bloated with a large memory "footprint"). Fortunately in most cases the communication protocol used by the mouse they'd use was a clone of a known "brand-name" one, so you just needed to find the right "mainstream" mouse TSR.
