Combobox behavior

Bodevinaat

If I select an item in a Combobox in runtime, the item gets hilited/selected. Is this intended behaviour? Can it be switched off?

Bodevinaat Are you thinking of only the selection being made and the selected item displaying as unhighlighted?

Also that the only time the selected item is highlighted is when you tab into the combobox and it presently contains a selection?

Thanks for reporting this. It was a bug in the editable ComboBox behaviour.

Fixed for the next release: https://feedback.objo.dev/bug/1162

Choosing an item will keep the value selected but remove the text highlight, leaving the insertion point at the end. Tabbing into a populated ComboBox will still select all its text, as expected.
