Thanks a lot Nadezhda,

while that works it would be great if either the default behaviour would already achieve this so one does not have to do it manually or if there could be a property like “firstItemHighlighted: false” for the combobox. Is it feasible to ask for that property/behaviour for the next jqWidgets version ?

Regards,

Hi Nadezhda,

thanks for the quick reply. While “overriding” the .jqx-fill-state-pressed style in your example solves the initial highlight to disappear it unfortunately also causes the first item to no longer highlight on hover.
It looks like the “problem” is that the first item in the combobox gets the “jqx-fill-state-pressed” style set automatically (next to some other properties, also “aria-selected=true” on the parent div) even though nothing should be really marked as selected when you start with a new combobox.

Could you provide an alternative solution please ? (which keeps the hover over highlighting behaviour functional)

Regards,
Steve

Nadezhda,

could you please give me an update on when this would be potentially fixed? I have sent you a separate support email with my companies license information (on 11-Mar) which should hopefully help prioritizing this.

cheers,
Steve

Thanks Nadezhda,

while your example works, it does not have the autoCpmplete property set to true as in my example.
If you enable it you will see the issue I have described in your code as well. So it’s really the combination of both autoComplete and multiSelect that is causing the issue. Can you please try to replicate it and see if it can be fixed ?

cheers,

Thanks Nadezhda for the quick reply.

We decided to not further pursue this as we feel your design decision of not allowing a multi-select in the popup listbox should be generally acceptable in most use cases as the combobox is all about finding things quickly in a big selection list (for us at least), so scrolling through the list and CTRL selecting should not be a very common use case.
