Hi,

the same behavior is IMHO there in many (at least some) other places using combo boxes not only with pcbnew.

I have used only eeschema lately… but there I found it very annoying in the library editor pin properties dialog (that’s one place I remember for 100%). Everything in there with a combo box could only be selected with up/down/enter keys.
However, somewhen in the last months it just started to work in the pin dialog, even if I did not see any obvious fix for that (I can’t say exactly when, because I was so used to using the keyboard that I discovered it’s working only by using mouse accidentally).
I assumed it could be switching to newer wxWidgets in my builds, but obviously this isn’t the case - it still doesn’t work in pcbnew as you described.


Regards,
Bernhard
