Type_Ahead Behavior

Classic Servoy
1

When you type into a type ahead field, the text you type is automatically highlighted causing any future letters to ooverwrite what is already there.

If I want to search for something starting with “abc” It overwrites with each keystroke and I only end up with a list of things starting with “c”

This only seems to happen for the first keystroke, so if you type “a” then click after the “a” to clear the seleced text, then I can continue on typing.

the text shouldn’t be selected in any way
Can you test with the latest release (RC4)
And if you still have this problem please send me a small example solution that demonstrates this.

What properties did you set?
Do you have selectOnEnter enabled?

SelectOnEnter was the problem, thanks jcompagner!
