A quick quick look makes me think it is a bug in the PACE code. An updated shadow
value sneaking its way back into the from on FrmDrawForm.
If you make a no left anchor pop up trigger connected to a list with static contents
the pop up trigger always returns to its initial position on FrmDrawForm. It is not
the trigger's label's byte length, but the initial left anchor point that is being
preserved. I can offer you a work around right now and I will take a longer look at it
for a kb article in a little while.
As normal, make sure the label is big enough (byte wise) for your biggest label...
Handle the popSelectEvent yourself and call CtlSetLabel on the pop trigger.
case popSelectEvent:
Char* selectionTextP = LstGetSelectionText(eventP->data.popSelect.listP,
eventP->data.popSelect.selection);
CtlSetLabel(eventP->data.popSelect.controlP, selectionTextP);
handled = true;
break;
This seems to work on my little sample.

Attached is a modified standard app that demonstrates the
problem. Debugging this under the Release PalmSim (v5.1,
haven't tried v5.2) should show the problem.
Give me a yell if you can't make sense of this.

Chris,
If you want to send me a piece of sample code I will take a look at it for
you.
