Hi

Any input control should not get value without explicit input initiation.
To write anything in Textbox, TextArea, Checkbox, Radiobutton or any other
you have to either click the control or use spacebar/Tab to get focus and
only then you can put value.

The Read-write combobox getting value without click/focus on control and
just by mouse wheel scroll over it caused unintended input of values and
put us in dangerous situation for production level applications. If you
have a combobox in form and you have a mouse with scroll wheel then you
don't know what value the combobox will get.

Check this video: http://safiur.com.np/gambas/combobox.webm
For example, I wrote something in the second combobox. Now I am at the
centre of the second combobox. I want to go to the last combobox to write
something leaving other comboboxes in between empty. How will I? If I
scroll the mouse wheel to move the scrollview content area, the empty
comboboxes will be filled. So I have to click scroll view slider on the
right and drag it to bottom taking care no mouse scroll occurs while doing
it.
