After a bit of experimentation :)
As an example here, I take DropListExample

On the DropList when you type something like 'Gr', nothing is shown but the 
list actually highlight it (in green -> second selection). So if then you press 
enter, it selects it.
That's quite weird :)

I will have a look of how to have the same behaviour without having to press 
enter and without having to duplicate the list code
