in one of my programs i use a chooser and limit the number of visible options with CHOOSER_MaxLabels. this seems to be work fine.
but now i recognize in testing, that the limited options only works, when i open the chooser-list, not when i click on the rotated arrow at the left. then all options are shown when i click repeatly on the chooser.
is this a bug in the chooser or is something wrong in my program?

Isn't the purpose of this tag to limit the size (as in screen space occupied) of the popped up list by limiting the number of entries shown at a time?

If so, it makes sense to me that you can still click through them all with the arrow button (like the original behaviour).

But I may be wrong. Anyway, from the autodoc description, it's hard to tell which of our interpretations is correct.

Best regards,

on my opinion it makes no sense to limit only the list. i never use before only the "arrow", i open the pop-up list and choose the entry and there is no hint in this list, that something is not shown. maybe the most user act so.

Well, when I say "the original behaviour", I'm referring to the way the Cycle Gadget worked in OS 2.x-3.x, like described here: https://wiki.amigaos.net/wiki/UI_Style_ ... le_Gadgets

That's what was the origin of the current Chooser, I believe.

Then, IIRC inspired by MUI and/or Windows' ComboBox, later on it got the ability to pop up a list to choose from instead of just cycling through the options.
