AutoCompleteBox : Caret persistent after clicking on the delete button

[Emmanuel]

Hello,

My issue is visible in the last telerik WPF demo, in the sample called "AutoCompleteBox : Multiselection with autocompletebox".

After adding some box in the control, I remove one with the "cross button", everything works fine, but when I move my cursor outside of the control, the caret get stuck, and I need to click in order to have my normal pointer back.


Do you have any ideas how to solve this behavior ?

Regards,

EDIT:

I received an answer from the support : 

One possible workaround I could suggest you is to release the mouse capture when an item is deselected. For that purpose you could handle the SelectionChanged event and to call the ReleaseMouseCapture method:

private void radAutoCompleteBox_SelectionChanged(object sender, SelectionChangedEventArgs e)
{
    if (e.RemovedItems.Count > 0)
    {
        if (Mouse.Captured is RadAutoCompleteBox)
        {
            (sender as RadAutoCompleteBox).ReleaseMouseCapture();
        }
    }
}

Hi Mark,

Thank you for sharing the workaround, we suggested, with the community. Also for a convenience I have updated the Feedback item in order to include the workaround.

If you have any other questions, let us know.
