Hi again, Thanks for your suggestion Kostya. But my spinner does not use any custom styling whatsoever. It is shown in a dialog which is built using AlertBuilder. The only custom styling in the app is for buttons, which I don't think should have any effect on spinners.
Any other ideas? Incidentally, about 6% of the sessions in my app come from Droid X users, so I would be surprised if they all experienced this problem (I have only received this complaint from a single user). Cheers, Michael.
