Here is a small program:\r\n\r\n```ruby\r\nShoes.app :width => 400, :height => 100 do\r\n stack do\r\n   items = []\r\n   items[0]= \"No! Don't me\"\r\n   items[1]= \"Let me tell you a story about how octal numbers fell out of \\\r\nfavor and were replaced with hexidecimal numbers. As you might suspect the \\\r\nanswer is not technical but financial and related to the 80 column punched card\"\r\n   list_box :items => items, :choose => items[1]\r\n  end\r\nend\r\n```\r\nObviously the contents of item[1] are wide. Much wider that the list box or the windows. On my Linux, in my theme it looks like this, \r\n![listbox-inactive](https://cloud.githubusercontent.com/assets/222691/7019551/71e7b2bc-dcce-11e4-8e48-201368855fe5.png)\r\n\r\nWhen I select the list_box, the drop down window is very wide - almost the whole width of my monitor. I can't capture it due to limitations in my capture tool and X11 oddities. It's just wide, wide and wider. \r\n\r\nHere's the drop down situation for Shoes 3.2.22 on Windows.\r\n![win-active](https://cloud.githubusercontent.com/assets/222691/7019991/a7d675d0-dcd2-11e4-88e0-9cb3046f966d.png)\r\n\r\nOSX behaves much like Linux -a very very wide drop down  but it has an  `...` in the middle so it's not quite as ugly as my Linux theme. \r\n\r\nNow I understand the complaint. A picture is worth a thousand words. I bet it's a themeable setting in gtk2 for windows. \r\n"}}
