I actually discovered this same issue in my app a few days ago. I also have several other ComboBoxes (including one right next to the problematic one) that don't display the i-beam.
After a bit of investigation, it seems that having enabled="false" in the ComboBox's MXML tag (then enabling it at some point of course) causes the selectable text. Any idea on a workaround?
