Dropdown menu will not go back up.

I was able to get the demo installed. I've purchased the unlimited version of FlashEff.
This is an annoying bug, though.
Twice now, I've used the dropdown from the Pattern menu to select an effect, and it will not go away after I made my choice. Even switching between tabs, or deselecting the component will make it go away. I can't make any adjustments because there's a dropdown in the way. (see the attached screenshot.)
I have to restart Flash every time this happens, (four times in 2 hours now...) and it is a considerable hindrance to my workflow.

Unfortunately this problem seems to persist only on Mac. It seems that there is a problem with Adobe's ComboBox component (that's the one used for the patterns list). However, there shouldn't be the need to close Flash. It should be enough to close and then reopen the panel.

No, that doesn't work. I told you that. This is a bug, and hope it gets fixed.
After spending $150 for a component, I expect this thing to work perfectly.

My colleagues confirmed that this indeed happens only on Mac and we've found a workaround to close it. The panel is already on the server so next time you start Adobe Flash and open up the panel, it should already download and use the updated panel. Please let me know if it's still happening.
