Hi
We have a web app that uses RadComboBoxes in a grid. The last RadComboBox is right near the right margin of the screen. On smaller screens when the user clicks on the drop down, the list appears but it is half off the screen to the right. The browser scrollbar adjusts to the new width, however, when you click on the browser scroll bar to scroll over, the drop down list closes and the browser jumps back to the original width.
Even when using the scroll bar at the bottom of the dropdown list, you are unable to get the right hand scroll bar on the dropdown list to display (you can kind of get around this using the scroll wheel on the mouse).
Needless-to-say, this results in a very poor user experience. Is there a way to get the dropdown list to respect the dimension of the browser window and only appear within its current bounds?

Hi Clinton,
There is a feature request to allow Screen Boundary Detection to detect left/right side of the screen as well, you can vote for it in our public tracking issue system here in order to raise its priority.
For now I suggest you use OffsetX property of the combobox to place the dropdown more on the left.
Kind regards,
