12.0p Issue with data entry in multiple SelectItem with multipleAppearance:"grid"

[Blama]

Hi Isomorphic,

I found a similar issue to the one here when testing for that issue. Please see this testcase (v12.0p_2020-03-24):

• Click into the top Item, Selecting "Cat"
• Enter "Dog" (fast) -> Dog selected (Expected)

• Click into the top Item, Selecting "Cat"
• Enter "D" -> Dog selected (Expected)

• Click into the top Item, Selecting "Cat"
• Enter "MMM" (fast) -> Marmoset selected (Expected)

• Click into the top Item, Selecting "Cat"
• Enter "MMMD" (fast) -> Marmoset selected (Not expected, would expect Dog)

• Click into the top Item, Selecting "Cat"
• Enter "MMMDC" (fast) -> Marmoset selected (Not expected, would expect Marmoset -> Mouse -> Marmoset -> Dog -> Cat)

• Click into the top Item, Selecting "Cat"
• Enter "MMMDOGC" (fast) -> Marmoset selected (Not expected, would expect Marmoset -> Mouse -> Marmoset -> Dog -> Cat)
• Click into the top Item, Selecting "Goat" (!)
• Enter "GOAT" (fast) -> Goat selected (Expected, Start (Goat) -> Giraffe -> Goat -> Goat -> Goat)

I know that this might be related to this FormItem being a native item, but as it happens for Chrome and Edge, I'm not sure about this.

This is very minor for me, as I don't use a SelectItem with multipleAppearance: "grid", but I thought you might wanna know anyway.

It's a native control, and the key handling is being performed by the browser, and differs by both browser and platform, and we can't override it (at least not completely).

For 100% consistent control over key handling with this appearance, use an embedded ListGrid, similar to the CanvasItem samples that show a ListGrid being used as a custom form control.

Hi Isomorphic,

OK thank you. I already assumed so. This was more of a FYI.
