(*** This bug was imported into bugs.kde.org ***) Package: konqueror Version: KDE 2.2.0 Beta1 Severity: normal Installed from: Debian Packages Compiler: Not Specified OS: Linux OS/Compiler notes: Not Specified When a drop-down menu on a website form is in focus pressing a letter on my keyboard doesn't go to that option. I finally figured out that it's because I'm not holding onto the Shift key and the options are normally capitalized. I think it would just be simpler and make things a whole lot easier if this option wasn't case sensitive. If I'm filling out my address and am at a drop-down menu for a state I should be able to press the letter N a few times until it reacher NY/New York without needing to additionally hold down Shift. In the File... menu at the top of a KDE applications for example I don't need to press Shift+O for the Open command. O suffices. (Submitted via bugs.kde.org)

There is some code in KComboBox for read-only comboboxes for completion but I don't think it belongs there or it even works. I just tested with and without that code and I didn't get any completion at all (only if the combobox is open e.g. by pressing F4. But then it works just fine with upper case characters without shift). Cheers Carsten Pfeiffer
Just tested it here, and it works: http://www.mat.uc.pt/~lectivos/sumarios/ The listed words start with capitals, I pressed a lowercase letter and moved to the right entry. I sugest CLOSING this bug.
Thanks, works for me as well.
