Hi All,

I am getting a weird cosmetic error, when selecting a value from type ahead which is having value list then the display value is auto justify to right (It should justify to left always, like as show in the combo box), because of this, I can’t see the display value properly if the display value is long text. I am always interested to see the display value left justify. Did I missed something ?. Please share your valuable suggestions to resolve this.

Servoy : 7.4.1  
Os : windows  
Java : 7

Thanks

Hi All,

I understand why this issue happens as the type of element is “Type Ahead” , it will wait for the user to enter some text after selecting a value list item, in that case the cursor goes to the right side and it won’t come back to left unless we change the cursor position. So, is there any way to show the selected value of a  
value list left justified ?

Thanks
