Description
Brief Issue Summary
Consider following code (from https://github.com/AmigaPorts/ACE):
set(ACE_LIBRARY_KIND OBJECT CACHE STRING "Build kind: static library or bunch of .o files. OBJECT allows for more link-time optimizations.")
set(ACE_LIBRARY_KINDS "OBJECT" "STATIC")
set_property(CACHE ACE_LIBRARY_KIND PROPERTY STRINGS ${ACE_LIBRARY_KINDS})
This results in following UI, which is correct:
however, clicking to expand the drop-down list does the following:
- the drop-down list is in wrong position
- other options than currently cached don't show up
