Selected Item is Displayed Blank on IE, but not Chrome

[danparker276]

I'm using VS 2012 on Windows 8.  Works fine on Chrome, but when I'm using IE it's blank every time I manually select it.  If I set it programatically at the start then I can see it. Or if I set AutoPostback=true, then I can see it too.

I'm just using a dictionary to fill my combo box

<telerik:RadComboBox ID="rcbSeasonsFilt"

    EmptyMessage="Change Season" DataTextField="Key"
    runat="server" DataValueField="Value" />

EDIT, I'm using q1 2013 asp.net 4.5 v 2013.1.220.45

Hello Dan,

Would you provide us with your implementation, which you use to populate the RadComboBox with data? Thus we would be able to inspect the issue locally and troubleshoot it for you.

It fills the datasource ok, the display is just blank when it's selected.  I'm using the metro skin

protected void Page_Init(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    rcb.DataSource = DBCalls.GetSeasons(); //Calls the DB and returns a dictionary Dictionary<string,string>
    rcb.DataBind();

Hello Dan,

I tried to replicate the faced issue, base on the provided code snippet, but to no avail. Here is a video, demonstrating the behavior at my end. In addition, I am sending you the sample page, I have tested with. Please correct me, if I had missed something.

Ok, I figured it out.  I had nchar in my database instead of nvarchar.  So if you change the dictionary in your example to:
        { "Low                                             ","0"}, 
        { "Normal                                            ","1"}, 
        { "High                                               ","2"} };

You'll see the same thing.   The combo box will scroll all the way to the right for IE, but not for Chrome.  And the asp:DropDownList looks ok the the char.  I'm changing my database to nvarchar, so this really doesn't matter to me, but it does work differently in IE than Chrome.
