it would, wouldn't it ! Like to get it working ? You can also get it so that any keypress other than up/down/escape/return closes the dropdown and goes to the minibuffer if you like ;) > drop down below the LyX window, but rather obscure part of the BufferView. > What happens if I'm using LyX with a maximised display?

I think that long term this is the way to go. A short term solution would be to flush the bottom of the menu with the top of the minibuffer instead, hiding part of the buffer view. That's dead easy to do, and effectively acts the same as splitting the main window, since the dropdown takes all focus until its quit. john -- "Your superior intellect is no match for our puny weapons."
