Send me your files and I can take a look later today and we can try and get a bug filed for this. I don't think I'll be able to sleep until I can reproduce this issue and we can submit a bug. Thanks, Peter @Greg,

As far as I know, positioning can be wrong if Spark component is put in Halo container. The workaround in such situation is to wrap Spark component with Spark container, which resides in Halo container.

The application base consists of several modules loaded into a SkinnableContainer (one module for the header, one for the nav, and one for the content). The content module, in this case, has 2 components (one for its titlebar and one for its content). A button in the content module's content component launches a modal pop up window (which is a SkinnableContainer component in this case). This is the component that has the DropDownList. I've seen several bugs posted that relate to the DropDownList not positioning correct if the component is moved. I've tried dynamically adding the DropDownList to the pop up after its creationComplete and I get the same behaviour, so I'm not sure if that bug I've seen is related or not. I'll try to create a simple test case that can reproduce the issue. If I can't, can I Email you my files privately? This is a small part of a pretty big application (or what will be a big application when it is completed). I tried to reproduce the behaviour with a simple test case and couldn’t either.

Thanks, Greg. Hey Peter,

Any idea what would be causing this (http://www.lbpbadminton.com/images/DropDownListIssue.jpg) to happen with my spark drop down list?

Thanks,
