First letter disappears when I write a bit too quick

[Joseph]

Hello
I use the ajax combo to search the addresses. The problem is that the first letter disappears when I write a little too fast, and it is only the first time I enter, but afterwards comnobox functioning, as it should.
I also have similar problem with ÅØÆ letters. First time I write these letters, I get a strange character, but when I delete it and write it again I get it right. what the problem could be??

Here is my ComboBox:

<telerik:RadComboBox ID="RadComboBoxSearch1" runat="server" AutoPostBack="true" SkinsPath="~/RadControls/ComboBox/Skins"

                        Width="95%" Enabled="false" EnableLoadOnDemand="True" ShowMoreResultsBox="True"

                        LoadingMessage="Søger..." OnItemsRequested="RadComboBoxSearch1_ItemsRequested"

                        OnSelectedIndexChanged="RadComboBoxSearch1_SelectedIndexChanged"    
                        OnClientDropDownOpening="CleanBoxSearch1"

                        OnClientKeyPressing="OnClientKeyPressing_searchBox1"
                        OnClientItemsRequesting="OnClientItemsRequesting_searchBox1"

                        OnClientItemsRequested="OnClientItemsRequested_searchBox1" OnClientLoad="GiveMeFocus">

                        <HeaderTemplate>

                            <div id="previous" class="previousText">

                                <a id="RadComboBox1_MoreResultsBoxImage2" onclick="setIsPrevious_searchBox1();">

                                    <img src="Images/arrow.png" alt="previous" />

                                    Previous </a>

                            </div>

                        </HeaderTemplate>

</telerik:RadComboBox>

Hi Joseph,

I did not manage to reproduce the same behavior locally.
Could you please share the information about the version of the controls you are using?

Try to provide us with a live URL of  the page where the RadComboBox is, so we could examine the experienced behavior.

Greetings,

Hi Ivana

I found a workaround for this problem. ComboBox work's fine when dropdownbox is open. So I used OnClientFocus to check if ComboBox is empty or not. If the ComboBox is empty and has the focus, the dropdownbox will open automatically. It works for me.
Here is the code.

<telerik:RadComboBox ID="RadComboBoxSearch1" runat="server" AutoPostBack="true" SkinsPath="~/RadControls/ComboBox/Skins"
Width="95%" Enabled="false" EnableLoadOnDemand="True" ShowMoreResultsBox="True"
LoadingMessage="Søger..."
OnItemsRequested="RadComboBoxSearch1_ItemsRequested"
OnSelectedIndexChanged="RadComboBoxSearch1_SelectedIndexChanged"
OnClientDropDownOpening="CleanBoxSearch1"
OnClientKeyPressing="OnClientKeyPressing_searchBox1"
OnClientItemsRequesting="OnClientItemsRequesting_searchBox1"
OnClientItemsRequested="OnClientItemsRequested_searchBox1"
OnClientLoad="GiveMeFocus" OnClientFocus="ClientFocus">
<HeaderTemplate>
<div id="previous" class="previousText">
<a id="RadComboBox1_MoreResultsBoxImage2" onclick="setIsPrevious_searchBox1();">
<img src="Images/arrow.png" alt="previous" />
Previous </a>
</div>
</HeaderTemplate>
</telerik:RadComboBox>

//Javascript:
function ClientFocus(sender) {
if (sender && sender.get_text() == "") {
sender.showDropDown();
}
