Hello,

The main annoyance I found is that in MS SQL Query Analyzer, on typing in a table or field name, if I select the wrong option from the list or press the forward cursor, I can't reactivate the dropdown to pick another option. Pushing space inserts a space and so doesn't allow the user to continue the lookup on part of a string. So I have to delete the whole string and the proceeding space in order to bring the combo back. Is there a key to press to continue working with the current string?

I've just found a bug on the combo list where pressing the down and up cursor keys don't change the highlighted option in the combo box, but it does change the tooltip and pushing enter selects the item that would have been selected. Neither restarting query analyzer or SQL Prompt seem to resolve this, although I'm sure it was highlighting correctly when I first used it.

Cheers

    Just an update on the combo box highlighting bug I found. I also found that if you clicked an item in the combo box list it didn't close the combo control, as it does if you press enter.

    The problem only went away on rebooting my machine, and I can't replicate it now. Sorry if that's not very helpful!
