Thanks Harry (and everyone) for your comments in reply to my original posting; 
it's 
interesting to learn that other users have seen (and/or are seeing) the same 
issue as I have.

In response to Harry's specific comments, I also have numerous different 
configurations but 
to date I've only tried using a couple of them when running v2.4.0 and have 
observed the 
same truncation issue with the drop-down box that shows the frequency and the 
band.  
However, I haven't tried doing a reset of the frequency list to see if that 
makes any difference 
although it's interesting that Harry only noted the truncation of the frequency 
string in the 
configs where he *had* done a reset of the frequencies.

I've now tried installing v2.4.0 into a different folder to my installation of 
v2.3.1, although of 
course the v2.4.0 installation still uses the same WSJT-X.ini file, and the 
problem of the 
truncated frequency string in the drop-down list still exists even though 
exactly the same font 
(MS Shell Dlg 2, regular 9pt) is invoked for both v2.3.1 and v2.4.0.  I tried 
changing the font 
to both 8pt and 10pt but it made no difference - the frequency string was still 
truncated within 
the narrow drop-down window.

I have a vague recollection of this issue having existed and having been 
reported previously, 
maybe a couple or more of years ago, but it has certainly never arisen before 
when I've 
installed all the various upgrades, both -RC and GA versions, that have been 
released in 
recent years.  It's rather annoying because it's effectively dissuading me from 
upgrading to 
v2.4.0 GA because I can't see exactly what the frequencies are for each band in 
the 
drop-down list!
