Combo boxes in VST plugins

I have loaded several VST plugins created by Cabbage (2.0.03, 64 bits) in LMMS (V. 1.2.0-rc in Windows 10), combo boxes close immediately after being clicked on and therefore none of their items can be clicked (they are fully functional in Cabbage though). The same happens with the free plugin Tunefish4. Is there a workaround?

I don't think so.
It's this issue:
https://github.com/LMMS/lmms/issues/3918
It's a bug in JUCE, which is software that Cabbage depends on. We may work around it on the master branch after lmms-1.2 is released. It was deemed a bit too dangerous to touch this close to a stable release.

There is a comment in the end of the issue linked above.
In the meantime please use "No embedding" for the "Plugin embedding" option as a workaround.
So:
Edit -> General Settings -> Plugin Embedding -> No embedding

The "No embedding" option works with the Tunefish plugin. Cabbage plugins display only a black box with no GUI though.
However since "source code" is available for Cabbage plugins I can try replacing comboboxes with list boxes before compiling the VST dll!
Thank you for you help!
