Description Ivan Furnadjiev

There are two strange effects with the new Combo implementation in IE8 (reproducible also with IE11 running as IE8).
1. Start Controls Demo -> Combo Tab
2. Open Combo list
3. Use Arrows to select item in the list -> foreground color of the selected item is *not* white (hard to read)
4. Close Combo list and open it again without changing the selection -> selected item is not visualized (no background color) or has hover background color if it's selected by mouse before.

Also some problems with the selection in IE8:
1. Start Controls Demo -> Combo Tab
2. Use the third Combo ( "ComboViewer with context" ).
3. Click on "Simula" item with the mouse or select "Simula" with arrow keys - in dialog the selection is shown as empty
Also if you hover with the mouse over the item text the cursor is changed from pointer to ibeam.

Not related to Combo at all. This is a text-size determination issue - "Simula" text is there, but it's wrapped on the next row, thus invisible. The issue is reproducible with RAP 2.2 too in IE8:

The div width is with 1 px smaller... maybe rounding issue. Still under investigation.

This is not reproducible in real IE8 (VM with Windows XP SP3), but in IE11 as IE8. That's why I will not investigate it further.

The two issues mentioned in the description have been fixed with changes https://git.eclipse.org/r/26222 and https://git.eclipse.org/r/#/c/26214/.
The only opened issue is the cursor changed to ibeam when move the mouse over the item text (reproducible for me with real IE8 and emulated IE11).
