to be fair, since I am now a little familiar with the PUI widget set (having prototyped the pui2canvas parser), I don't think that this is necessarily an accurate statement about PUI limitations.
In fact, should you feel a little adventurous, I would suggest to make a copy of $FG_ROOT/gui/dialogs/route-manager.xml and then open it in an xml editor.
Next, you can navigate to the "combo" widgets for the SID/STAR controls, and replace the opening/closing "combo" tags with "list" instead:
as per $FG_ROOT/Docs/README.gui:
list
----
like "combo", but displays all values in a scrollable list box with
slider on the right side. Updates the <property> to the selected
entry. On <dialog-update> re-scans the <value> nodes and updates
the list.
(I don't know if the underlying C++ code is sufficiently clever, so this may cause a crash)
