DropDownList is not showing correctly in After Effects
Hi, I’m having problems with the display of the dropdownlist. I’m building a preset list that way:
var presets_list = presets_grp.add("dropdownlist", undefined, presets);
“presets” is an array with some strings. When I open the dropdownlist in Extendscript it shows all elements:
Even if I add new elements with that save button:
But when I test it on after effects it only shows part of the elements, and when I add a new one it updates, the same problem persists:
I can’t find anything in the web about this. Is there a known issue with the DDL in Ae CC? Is there a way to correct that behaviour?

This is some testing code in other file, for helping propouses ;):
function buildUI(thisObj) {
var createPresets = function() {
var presets = [];
for(var i = 0; i < 10; i++) {
presets.push("Preset_" + i);
}
return presets;
}var win= (thisObj instanceof Panel)? thisObj: new Window('palette', 'Dropdownlist testing', undefined);
var presets_grp = win.add("group{alignment:'right', orientation:'row'}");
var presets_title = presets_grp.add("statictext{text: 'Presets'}");
var presets_list = presets_grp.add("dropdownlist", undefined, createPresets());return win;
}var myWin = buildUI(this);
myWin.center();
myWin.show();
Same result in SSTK:
And in AE:

After two days tweaking all the properties of the list, trying all type of coding crazy things without any result, I decided to check the hardware.I saw that my gpu was at 86ºC, so I decided to remove it, open it and replace the termal paste of the chip. After rebooting the computer, !vualá! all works fine. Lesson learned.
