Here is my question - I thought it was a drop down not a scroll.
Because I thought I remembered that, I clicked check for Updates - and says there is one - but looking at the actions forge page - it is the same version I have from 2008.
How do you apply this Action? Do you create a picking list element, and then apply the Action to it? (I’ve never used this one myself.) The reason I ask is because your picking list is set to a size of 2, rather than 1. You control this dimension by clicking once on the picking list control, then looking in the Inspector, third tab from the left (Output) for the Size field. Pickers with a size greater than 1 will show the options and a scroll bar. Pickers with a size of 1 will show the control only, and you have to open that control to see the options.

PS I dont see anywhere to change those things in the inspector.

Though -I just figured it out… I can not place it in a table to be able to resize it. So, this can not be inserted like a text field etc for a form - has to be “on top” then changed in size so it becomes a dropdown…

Try using the Inspector (Screen Measurements segment) to change the
dimensions. If you set the height to 12px, that will force it to a
single-picker.
