Dropdowns in GH are mkay as long as the number of items does not exceed a few dozens: once it grows larger, the component becomes poorly responsive, plus navigation through the list is painful to say the least (one has an arrow button at the bottom that needs to be pressed forever for the list to scroll down, no other way of scrolling 🤦). This is a well known issue of GH itself that we cannot do anything about.
Hovewer, the above means that using BHoM on a few occasions (e.g. selecting a RHS profile from list) is an art... art of patience 😉 Therefore, it would be great if we could improve what GH done wrong. My ideas are:
overriding the default left click behaviour with our dedicated selection list WPF control
replacing the component with something more dedicated
@FraserGreenroyd I am adding you as an assignee since you are the UI keeper, but would rather expect @adecler to be most informed/decisive. Feel free to ignore/close if it is too much effort compared to rather low benefit, but this definitely is a nice to have.
