I agree that Octave and Matlab behave differently here but I prefer what Octave does. It makes it possible to have a control on how a popupmenu actually looks, and especially make it have the same size than the other uicontrols, such as here:

somehow the bug report title got cut off, should be:

uicontrol popupmenu height should be fixed (qt)

or something along those lines

uimenus in Octave take the whole height of the specified uicontrol which can end up looking quite bad as in the lower panel in the attached code. In Matlab the popupmenu height is always fixed to the height of the string/text. Also Matlab popupmenu background default is white while in Octave I assume its inherited from the parent.
