Don't know if this will help - haven't tried it - but you might try
using a field instead of a pulldown for your menu. I've used this
technique in other situations, and it seems that the focus should
pass to the field being used as a menu (you'll need to make sure it
gets a higher layer number), so the original field should stop
scrolling. You can still simulate the look & feel of a menu with a
field by scripting (that is, getting different lines to hilite as the
user moves the mouse down the field) - I can send you an example
offlist if you're interested.
