Comment #2 on issue 4644 by [EMAIL PROTECTED]: Dropdown list does not respond to keypad http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=4644
I'm seeing something a little different: -- When I type in "6" the combo box homes to the first entry that has "6" as the first character. -- When I type in "1", nothing happens. This is only because there doesn't happen to be an entry on the list that starts with "1". -- When I type in "2" the combo box homes to the first entry that has "2" as the first character. -- When I type in "0", nothing happens. Again, there doesn't happen to be an entry on the list that starts with "0". In other words, the combo box doesn't remember the characters you've typed before. It only remembers the character you're currently typing. I can imagine why this is so. Imagine that you have typed a string of characters into the combo box, and the box remembers them all. There is no visual indication of what characters you have typed in, and you may not remember them. Now, you type in another character, and you're frustrated because it's not homing to any item now. Also, you would have to have some way to clear the box of any previously typed-in characters so you could start searching for a new item. Also, if you have an item selected that starts with "6", repeatedly pressing the "6" key will cause the combo box to cycle through all items that start with "6". All the above works for me regardless of whether I use the numeric row or the numeric keypad with NumLock ON. Internet Explorer and Firefox also both work in this manner. I believe it's working as intended. -- You received this message because you are listed in the owner or CC fields of this issue, or because you starred this issue.
