usability problem with a combo box

Functionally it's a minor thing, but usability-wise it's a medium issue. A combo box (with appearance="xxforms:autocomplete" selection="open") will list its possible options if down-arrow is pressed inside the box. Can you also add the mouse doubleclick as an event to do the same? Alternatively, to still display the "down-pointing triangle" at the right of the box, so it can be clicked?".

 

The usability issues with the current behaviour:

 

- With an auto-complete, open selection, there's zero indication the box is not a plain edit box.

- Even if a user knows it's a combo box, the mouse cannot be used to display the list of options. Pressing down-arrow is not an obvious action for a non-programmer.

 

Thank you,

JL
