Description Elias Volanakis

Back in October we added something to the CComboRidget to allow setSelection(...) to "select" an element that is not in the list. In that case getSelection(...) returns the element, but getSelectionIndex() returns -1.

I've asked Steffen via email for a quick reminder why we needed this funtionality.

If we need it -- we should allow it in all variants of a combo, i.e. Combo, CCombo, CompletionCombo. That means moving that code up to AbstractComboRidget.

This was moved down to AbstractCompletionCombo. It is now allowed in all variants of the ridget.

Resolved.
