Kevin I thought you fixed this?

The old problem was that as soon as the dropdown list was displayed the window would move behind. The new problem which I confirmed is the dropdown list is displayed behind when the dropdown list clicked on.

Dropdown on WIN32 no longer causes parent window to change z-order or activation. I changed the code which initialized the parent of the popup window to set the popup parent to null. This fixes the bug where clicking on the popup window caused it's dialog box to go behind the apprunner window. To prevent clicks on the dropdown from deactivating it's parent window, I added code to check for WM_MOUSEACTIVATE messages and eat the activation requests if the click was inside the popup.

I can't reproduce this behavior in the 1999111016 build, NT. Marking verified.
