Shouldn't this be bottom-right, facing down as per the HIG?

I can go with that, although it has been a choice to have the menu on the right with the arrow bottom right facing right for a long time on Carbon. It's been the option I've used most, but I'm happy to go the other way now it seems to be the only one endorsed in the HIG. The arrow is still really big though.

- The control seems to want to use the image and/or text from the first menu
item as its image and label. That's really a nuisance.

This is just how things work in Cocoa land.  I guess the only thing to
say is Deal With It(TM).

That's what I'm doing, by emulating the Carbon control. I think this is a deficiency in Cocoa, I don't see how it's possible implement the bevel button with a popup menu as shown in the HIG, where the button represents the menu title and always displays the same image. The Carbon control is a very useful one which I've been using for over a decade I suppose. I was just interested to know if anyone else had done this and what approach they took.

Regards,

Jo Meder
