When they manually select from the drop down, what are they selecting? Maybe
the local computer name?

When you type in username@domain, you're overriding the domain name that may be
contained in the drop down (or defaulted if no drop down selection made). If
login defaults to the local computer, and you typed in username@domain, you'd
authenticate to the domain. If you just typed in username, OTOH, you'd
authenticate to the local computer.
