We have users that have noticed that one of their regularly used Comboboxes that has AllowCustom = true is selecting the first item in the list when they go to tab out of the field. I've even replicated that behavior using your example under "Allow custom user input in the combo box".
The work-around we see is either simply clicking away from the CB, or setting the Filterable=true, which leaves no options for it to select. However, tabbing away from one field to another is fairly common. And we didn't think that was an intended effect.

Hello Matt,
I've tried replicating the described behavior but was unable to do so. Consider this example: https://blazorrepl.telerik.com/wqbvEpPJ25yhQZRb48
I've tested the following 2 scenarios:
Scenario A:
1. Open the dropdown
2. Press Tab key
This results in the focus moving to the next focusable component without selecting the first item in the list. (expected)
Scenario B:
1. Open the dropdown
2. Type in the input (e.g., "f")
3. Press Tab key
This results in the focus moving to the next focusable component. The highlighted item in the list that matches the filter criteria (e.g., "f" -> first) is selected. (expected)
This is the expected behavior and it is the same when the ComboBox is set up with AllowCustom = false (the second ComboBox in the example).
A short video showing the behavior described above is attached to this reply.
Could you modify the example accordingly, so that it demonstrates the problematic behavior, post the link to the modified example, and specify the user steps that need to be followed for the issue to be observed?

In your first scenario, you have Filterable = true. Set that to False, and see what happens.
Matt,
Thank you for elaborating more on the scenario.
