Leah, I believe this is known behaviour when using the "Windows Classic" theme in XP.
Could this be your situation?

I wonder if it has always been this way (not logical) and I never noticed or this is some new. weird, skewed behavior. When first opening a dialog (for instance, the Character Designer) it takes more than one click on an arrow to open a drop down list (the font list, for instance). In fact, in fact it takes about 3 clicks: Click 1 - nothing happens Click 2 - the field is now in focus Click 3 - drop down list, well...drops down. After this intial 3 click process, any other drop down menu in the dialog box opens with the normal one click. As long as the dialog box stays open the 3 click operation does not return. However, after closing the dialog box and opening it again, 3 clicks to open a drop down list are necessary. This, of course, slows down the work pace and it is a pity to add extraneous mouse clicks to over worked hands. Any guesses as how to take care of this annoying problem?
