Since upgrading to 1.1 the combo box no longer drops down when you tab into it, has to be opened with the mouse,before 1.1 you could tab into it, it would drop down and the first letter selected would display in the box, it does nothing now when tabbed into it. Was this planned or a issue?  Sad

Hello Proudpoppy,

I just tested versions 1.0.3, 1.0.4 and 1.0.5 beta and when tabbing into a combo box element, it does not drop down the list. The list can be dropped down by hitting the down arrow key on your keyboard. The list can also be dropped down by hitting the left or right arrow key but only if there is a value in the combo box.

You can also drop down the list by typing the first character of the value that you want to select from the list. For example say you wanted to select the value "Payment" from a combo box. What you would do is tab into the Combo box, and hit the "p" key on your keyboard. The list is dropped down and the first word that starts with the letter "P" is selected.

-Ray

I went back and retested it, I run with caps off and I was holding down the shift key and selecting the first letter of a drop down choice and nothing was happening have not tested to see if it worked in 1.04 will later today.Worked fine just pressing the letter and keeping my finger off the shift key.  Grin
