Yes, it looks like a bug. But the bug is in the way the popup button was 
initialized in the Gorm file. Stepping through the -initWithCoder: method of 
the NSPopUpButton cell class I noticed that the button's preferred edge is set 
to NSMinYEdge. However, this should be NSMaxYEdge. Maybe it helps to change the 
arrow in the pull down options from Down to Right and then back again. 
Otherwise, you might try and recreate the pull down buttons in the Gorm file.
