Problem when two consecutive entries have the same text value

[Phil Seeman]

Hi! I've identified an issue with the combo box control: if the text value of two consecutive entries is identical, it's impossible to select the bottom of the the two (I didn't test but I assume it would hold true for more than two duplicates as well).

I modified your Xamarin sample to illustrate; run the attached sample and use the "Change size of text" combo box, you'll see I added a second entry for "125%" but it's not possible to select that item; it always selects the top "125%" entry.

Is this a bug, or is there a way around this issue, or is it a limitation of SfComboBox that consecutive entries have to be unique? (That would seem to be an odd limitation if true.)

Thanks for any help!

Hi Phil Seeman,

Thanks for your patience.

We have analyzed the reported issue. We have achieved your requirement by using Collection of object as the DataSource of ComboBox instead of Collection of string.

Please have a modified sample for your reference,

Please check and let us know if you have any concerns.

Hi Suganya,

It does resolve the problem, thanks.

One other question, though: when one of the items with the duplicated text value is selected and you drop down the combobox, both instances of that text value are highlighted:

Is it possible to avoid that incorrect highlighting of both items (without having to change the text so that the two items' text is different)? 

Thanks!
