Topic: WFC, Ctrl+Alt+down: if multiple entries, then drop-down box 1 character wide
Poster: Samuel Murray
Hello everyone
[I'm sure I asked about this before, but I just googled for it and couldn't find my previous question or answers.]
When I use Ctrl+Alt+down to insert a glossary item, and the glossary/ies contains more than one entry for it, the entries appear as a little dropdown box underneath the cursor. This is what I expect. However, with these particular glossaries (and I don't know why only these) the dropdown box is 1 character wide.
What causes this, and how can I solve it?
Thanks

Added: I suspect there's something wrong with the style WfPopup, because if I set the zoom to e.g. 75% and make the Word window very, very wide, then the dropdown list appears correctly, but as soon as I make the Word window narrower, the dropdown list starts getting squeezed. It's almost as if the dropdown list thinks that it should wrap at something like 5% of the window width.
Here's the properties of my WfPopup style:

Can you see anything that I might want to change?

Added: The style seems fine, but I've noticed something odd with the line indents. The right indentation is always 42.75 cm more than the left indentation. Now, if my window is 15 cm wide, then it makes sense that the line would become squished. The indentation is set by Wordfast at the time that the dropdown list is created, so: how can I tell Wordfast to use a right indentation of zero centimeters?

Added: I see Dominique [url= [url removed] ]suggests[/url] deleting WfPopup so that WFC recreates it, but I tried that and it didn't work. I deleted it from both the current document and from Normal.dot. No luck.
