Focus switches to input when loading new items

[Tyler]

The problem is that when I am using the down arrows to scroll through results, when the virtual scroll kicks in a loads more items, the focus gets changed to the input box and hence my scrolling starts again from the top element.

To reproduce:

Go to this page:
1. http://demos.telerik.com/aspnet-ajax/combobox/examples/populatingwithdata/autocompletesql/defaultcs.aspx
2.  click in the box for the web service example.
3.  click the down arrow on your keyboard 11 times.
4.  Notice that the selected item is the 1st item in the list when it should be the 11th.

Hi Tyler,

I was unable to reproduce the issue in the online demo. Am I missing something?

I guess you are missing something if you cannot reproduce.  Make sure you don't preload more than 10 items because the problem is caused when the control loads more items.  

Are you using the keyboard down arrow to scroll through the results?  
Do you see when the combo box loads more items the selected index jumps back to the first.

I can make a video of it if you need me to.

Hello Tyler,

I was indeed missing something when I first tested the demo. The Web Service/Page Method RadComboBoxes exhibit this behavior, the rest do not. Please excuse me for my omission.

I forwarded this issue to our developers and will update you on the status in this forum thread once they confirm it is a bug.

Sincerely yours,
Simon
