When tabbing to a dropdownlist or setting focus via script, then hitting a key to select an item from the list, the first keypress is ignored.
For an example, go to
http://demos.telerik.com/aspnet-mvc/combobox. Now tab until the dropdownlist gets focus. Press 'N' and nothing will happen. Press it again, and it selects the first item in the list that starts with 'N', Northwoods Cranberry Sauce. IE, Firefox, Chrome, all the same.
In my app, I have some forms where I set focus to a dropdownlist via javascript. Naturally, my users are trying to use the keyboard to select the item they want, but this unexpected behavior is frustrating them.
For now, I'm just going to switch back to a normal HTML select input, but I'd like to see if this can be fixed in the Telerik dropdownlist.
