Rendering of WB Combo Box changed from VA8 to VA9 ?

We are current migrating our large application from VA8 to VA9.1 and it seems that the visual rendering of a combo box built in WindowBuilder has changed. Under the VA8 runtime, it visually renders similar to a DropDown (grey rectangle at end of field with a triangle pointing down) in VA9, it renders as just a triangle pointing down at the end of the field. It is quite noticable on one of our screens where there is a dropdown above a combo box....

Any thoughts or ideas on why this may be happening?

Hi Steven,

It probably relates to manifest files.

If you would like Instantiations to look at it in more detail, please send us a support case and we will be happy work with you on it.

Kind Regards,

Yep - that was the cause. I appreciate the reply because it gave me a place to dig in and look.
