Line spacing in dropdown menus linked from SharePoint

Hi All

 

Any help would be appreciated. I'm having problems managing drop-down lists linked from SharePoint. The line spacing makes the expanded menu drop below the Webapp when viewed on a SharePoint page...

Font is 18pt here and the dropdown field is 45 high, but the broken line on the left seems to be telling me that there is something wrong with the "cell" spacing for each entry.

 

Any thoughts would be appreciated.

 

Thank you.

    Thanks for that. I have 13 combo dropdowns in my current app. when they expand they drop below the SharePoint webapp.

    Here's the settings for one, I've reduced the padding top and bottom to 0 and reduced the text to 18 and the field size to 45.....

    When you view in SP it looks like this....

    I need to decrease the line spacing... but can't find anything that suggests that this is possible.

     

    Chevrons are driving me nuts as well...

    Any thoughts would be appreciates. Thanks all!combochevron.PNG

    Hi @LBo1 ,

    Could you please share a bit more about your scenario?

    Do you want to decrease the cell spacing for each option within the ComboBox?

     

    If you want to decrease the cell spacing for each option within the ComboBox, please try the following workaround:

    set the PaddingTop property and PaddingBottom property of ComboBox to following:

    0 // zero

     

    If the issue still exists, I afraid that there is no direct way to fix your issue currently. It is actually an known limit with ComboBox control itself. As an temporary solution, you could consider move the Data card the ComboBox hosted on to the Top Position Order within your Edit form, then check if the issue is fixed.

     

    Best regards,

    Do you have spacing in the SharePoint list. If so remove them. Also how many items rows do you have on the list.
