Drop Down List Selection Problem

Hello Acrobat Users,

I'm having an issue with my drop down list.

I have populated a drop down list with over one hundred items, and when I select one from the list it chooses a different item.

For example if I have a list of the alphabet and i want to select the letter "s" when I click the "s" from the list it chooses "t" instead. However if I click the drop down list and type "s" and hit enter, it chooses "s".

How can I fix this problem? Is it because the list it over populated?

Thanks,

This is an odd one. It may be that the list is overloaded. Although I've used some very long lists. Does the dropdown work with short lists? Can you find the point at which is breaks?
