Ken,
This is a known issue (I know, I reported it. ;-)). The workarounds are:

1. Use VFP 7. < gd&rvvf > (Really, don't do this!)
2. Don't use drop down lists, use drop down combos. Your users could type in new values, but you could trap this in the Valid/LostFocus and not accept the new value, making the user select another one.
3. Inform your users that it is only a display issue and ask them to work with it for the foreseeable future. The data is not stored with doubled & so you don't have to worry about data corruption.

HTH.
