Hi all!

I have a problem where the combo box does not drop down when I click on it. As seen below, it is populated.

![image](https://d3kjluh73b9h9o.cloudfront.net/original/4X/1/7/6/1765ca93a95e06763e900a1000323c8d6d30a75d.png)

I also bound an event to “On Opening”, as shown here:

and the text does get printed when I click on it. However, nothing shows up. I tried resetting the style but nothing.

Anybody can help?

Did you ever figure this out?  
I’m having the same issue In VR using the Hand Tracking Plugin.

Works with the Oculus Quest Controls but not with Hand Tracking pinch

The problem was that it would not work while the game is paused. I had to recreate it from scratch. The whole combo box. Took me half an hour, so not much.
