Plastique is the best thing that has ever happened on computers (at least
the version called "Plastik" that I am running), but in general I'd think
that people aren't content with (massively!) changing how things look just
to get a small thing to behave.
But the only solution I see here is to write your own ComboBox. Since it's
a native (non-compound) control you can't even reasonably extend the
existing class to (ab)use some of its internals, like re-wiring event
handlers from child controls. (You can always do this sort of hack with
compound controls written in Gambas, i.e. non-native ones.)
Another thing could be that Benoit adds a new event to the ComboBox. If
there is an event handler for it, that would mean that the Gambas programmer
wants to do their own popup[*] and if not, the standard popup is used. But
I doubt that this would be implemented. It looks too weird/fragile.

[*] If you write your own ComboBox, this is something you also need to think
of: "how do I implement a popup that attaches visually to my control but
_could_ be larger than my form?". We currently explore this question in
a quite related thread here[0].
