    Keyboard behavior in dropdowns

    I know we had this discussion before and I thought it was OK back then...
    https://www.modelright.com/forums/permalink/981/512/ShowThread.aspx#512

    But now that I use this feature more often, I really find it annoying. I'm talking about the keyboard behavior of the dropdown in "Go To In Diagram" (Ctrl+G), which will always jump to the next entry when I type another letter even though the current selection would fit.

    I've got several tables that start with the same name, call them TEST, TEST_A, TEST_B and TEST_C. Now I want to open table TEST, so I just press Ctrl+G and enter "test" without even looking at the screen. I don't want to check after every letter if the correct table is already selected. But when I'm done writing "test", TEST_C is selected, so I can either switch to my mouse, click on dropdown, scroll up and click on TEST, or I need to use Arrow-Up three times.

    I know this may sound like nothing, but I think it really makes a difference.

    Thanks for reading :)

    Re: Keyboard behavior in dropdowns

    fixed in next build.  we no longer advance the search if what is typed matches the current selection.
