How to get 4.1.1 Find/Replace drop-down full length?

Through Atlantis version 4.0 the drop down for Find what: has been the full length of all the search terms (maximum of about 30). I downloaded and installed 4.1.1 this morning. When starting the final run of formatting this afternoon to finish the current document I am working on I find that the drop down items visible is limited to 8. I have to scroll each time to get to the next term I want to use. I use all but 4 of the maximum search terms allowed for this final formatting. I start immediately above a line I put in as a term which is right above the 4 bottom terms I do not use. How do I get the drop down back showing all the search terms at the same time?

The number of items in that drop-down normally depends on the value assigned to “Number of items in the histories” in the Atlantis Options (General tab).

Thanks Robert.
I checked that number and it is set to the maximum (30). Ran it down to 28 and there were still only 8 showing at a time of the 28. Have reset it back to 30 where it has been for a long time. Between Sunday and today (Monday) the number of lines displayed at the same time in the drop down has changed from 30 to 8. I have not given permission for any software to make changes since 5/14/2021 and the last software I loaded/updated was FreeFileSync on 5/14/2021.

Many comboboxes (boxes with drop-down lists) in recent releases of Atlantis have maximum 8 visible items. The next maintenance release of Atlantis will use the Windows default value – 30. Thanks.
