> Selecting (custom) text using the keyboard in a closed combobox doesn't work.
> Steps to reproduce:
> Compile and run the following application
> <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
> <s:WindowedApplication xmlns:fx="http://ns.adobe.com/mxml/2009";
> xmlns:s="library://ns.adobe.com/flex/spark"
> xmlns:mx="library://ns.adobe.com/flex/mx">
> <s:Group>
> <s:layout><s:HorizontalLayout /></s:layout>
> <s:ComboBox id="myCombo" width="200" >
> <s:dataProvider>
> <mx:ArrayList>
> <fx:String>test1</fx:String>
> <fx:String>test2</fx:String>
> <fx:String>test3</fx:String>
> </mx:ArrayList>
> </s:dataProvider>
> </s:ComboBox>
> <s:TextInput id="myText" width="200" />
> </s:Group>
> </s:WindowedApplication>
> Click in the combo box and type "abc" (w/out quotes) and then press enter.
> Press shift + end
> Actual: The text input contains the value "test3" and the cursor remains at
> the start of the text. No selection has been made.
> Expected: The text input should contain the value "abc" and that text should
> be selected (cursor located after the letter "c").
> The reason lies in DropDownListBase::keyDownHandler between lines 784 and
> 855, which allows vertical keyboard navigation in the (closed) combo/dropdown
> control. However, it ignores the status of the "shift" key (and incidentally
> also of the "alt", "ctrl", and "command" keys), which indicate different
> behaviour.
> In the case of a pressed shift key no navigation should occur, instead, at
> least for HOME and END keys the text should be selected accordingly.
