I put this into the category "option menus suck".
(Yes, I know, I now work for a company that loves option menus; we make them scrollable, at least, but they still suck, as they don't let you fill in some web forms without reaching for the rodent.)
Perhaps we should use a (non-editable, if that's supported, as only the values in the values list are valid) combo box rather than an option menu in this case.
