Description Istvan Ballok CLA 2011-12-12 13:02:49 EST 
The behavior of the Combo widget differs from the SWT behavior, observed on Windows.

If the popup list of the Combo widget is open, the user can navigate in the list to a given entry by pressing the first letter of the corresponding word. This behavior is consistent to the SWT behavior.

However, if the pop list is closed, the user can change the selection only with the arrow keys, but can not jump with the letter keys - this is not consistent to the SWT behaviour.
Comment 1 Ivan Furnadjiev CLA 2011-12-13 05:40:45 EST 
As addition, the first letter selection works only for read-only combos - with/without dropped combo list.
Comment 2 Ivan Furnadjiev CLA 2011-12-16 07:45:03 EST 
Fixed by adding a check for not editable in Combo.js#_onKeyInput.
