--- Comment #9 from Owen Leonard <[email protected]> --- I think this is a useful enhancement, but I think in its current state it removes some of the built-in usability of a default HTML dropdown. The new dropdown has a fixed width, which in my system means it is not wide enough to show the complete description for some of my codes. After I have selected an item from the dropdown, I expect to be able to see the full description of the selected item by opening the dropdown again. In a <select>, expanding a dropdown with a selected item will scroll the list to the selected item and show it highlighted. In this version it expands the list but doesn't scroll or indicate in any way that it was selected. I think those are issues which ought to be addressed. It works fairly well with keyboard navigation, but it now takes more clicks to choose an item via keyboard. Old: Tab to <select>, type the first letters of the item you're looking for. Item is selected. New: Tab to combobox, type the word you're looking for. Use arrow key to select the item you want. That may not be a deal-breaker for the feature, but I know the different will be noticeable to catalogers. Another problematic difference: After you select an item from the list, if you hit ENTER the form submits. We have been working to eliminate that behavior from forms in Koha, so I would consider it a regression to introduce a feature that brings it back. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes. _______________________________________________ Koha-bugs mailing list [email protected] http://lists.koha-community.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/koha-bugs website : http://www.koha-community.org/ git : http://git.koha-community.org/ bugs : http://bugs.koha-community.org/
