WTF? BATTLE PROCESSING IN VX ACE ONLY SHOWS 30 ENTRIES?

Not sure where else to put this, figured this forum was the closest thing.

I can't believe I didn't notice it until now, but in RPG Maker VX Ace (the version on Steam at least) if you select the Battle Processing event command, the drop-down list only shows the first 30 entries of the enemy database, even if you have more than that. This is a pretty huge fucking oversight if you ask me. Seems like someone forgot to add a scroll bar to the list. -_-

Edit: Oh my great god, as if that weren't bad enough, if you remove entries from the enemy database and reduce the maximum, the Battle Processing command still shows the original 30, and if you have a battle with a monster above the maximum you set there's nothing in the field and you automatically win. What the hell, Enterbrain?
Tried mine and it works fine. Are you sure Ace is actually saving your database files? Make sure you hit OK, see if changes to other database items appear in the editor, stuff like that. The battle processing event has a bit of fault tolerance that if you pass it an invalid troop ID to fight the fight just won't start. You can test this with trying to start battle 90 or so via a variable: The event process will ignore it but a valid troop ID will start the fight; You'll just win immediately if there's no enemies like in an empty troop.

There's something strange going on but I don't think it's the editor doing its own thing with the battle processing combobox.

I've tried hitting OK and the database itself shows the changes I made to the max number of entries, but the drop-down for enemy troops in...oh I'm a fucking retard, I changed the max number of enemies but not the troops. Never mind, this is just a result of me being a total wankpot. Go about your business as normal, people.
I don't mean to be a jerk but... ROFL. I think you're overworking yourself Trihan :p, get some sleep!
You got me worried for a sec there and I was about to hit steam open XD

I was just about to suggest checking your troops.
sometimes you can confuse the enemy list with the troop list.
