ComboBox only suited to selection from list

[snafufans]

Hi everyone, and thanks to the Ext team for a great library.

It seems to me that ComboBox is behaving as if forceSelection were always set to true, and is ignoring user-typed data. The onChange only fires when an item from the list is selected and the field is blurred, and if the user types in their own value - rather than clicking one - it is silently discarded when the form is submitted.

I'm using Firefox 2, Ext1.1 with the ext-base, and a list being populated via JSON.

Is this a known issue?

Are you using both a valueField and a displayField? If yes, they the user must select something in order for a value to be mapped.

There was a discussion about this a while back. See this thread for info and work-arounds:
