This is not the right control for selecting an item among such a huge list because it's cumbersome to navigate. The HIG ( https://techbase.kde.org/Projects/Usability/HIG/DropDown ) states "For a single selection out of a large number of items (n>20), use a list view" (with a filter). 1468011 1 sebas 2014-08-28 10:18:01 +0000 We have 6 comboboxes which are all too big. This needs a serious design concept, we can't just replace them all with lists + filters, because people don't have 6000px height displays. 1468084 2 thomas.pfeiffer 2014-08-28 16:51:38 +0000 Agreed, it won't be a simple "replace selectboxes with list boxes". Maybe the widget you created for timezone selection in Plasma Active (or a slightly modified version thereof) would be useful here? The HIG I wrote for it precisely matches our situation: "The Selection Dialog is used when users have to select one element out of a number of items that would not fit into the drop-down of a ComboBox and there is not enough space to show them in a ListView" 1479847 3 kde 2014-11-05 18:27:24 +0000 *** Bug 336108 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** 1991494 4 nate 2021-01-06 00:14:45 +0000 This would be fixed automatically by fixing Bug 394698. 2066449 5 nate 2021-10-05 17:21:11 +0000 Git commit 25485ac8d35ec25c1cf1475516016d6f8b93a9f2 by Nate Graham, on behalf of Han Young.
