When you select in the GUI controltype "multiple listbox", the height (or size) is set by default to 22px (only the first item is visible).
When clicking on that control, it's height is set to a bigger height and acts like a multi-select listbox. After selecting 1 or more elements and clicking
away from that control, the height is set back to it's default of 22px and the selected items are then visible in the first "row", seperated with a semi-colon, like
ITALY; ENGLAND; JAPAN.

Clicking again on that control, the items are made selected again
It looks like a combination of a multi-select listbox and a non-editable text-box (must be all javascript handled)

I have tried javascript to control the height and/or size for onmouseout this did not work. Created it as a Drop down list and have the same issue.

I need it to stay at size=8 and/or height=139px.

Which version of Dev Studio are you working with? I haven't seen this semi-colon behaviour in v7.7.03.

I've found it difficult to control the height of certain controls in HTML Composer.

In the several years I've used HTML Composer I never noticed or found need for this semi-colon behaviour.

For multiple selection controls, I use "List box" or "Double list control", never "Drop down list". You can set the height for the former list controls, the height is ignored for the latter.

This is an issue since I created this control type as both a List and a Drop Down List with the same issue.
