Description
Describe the bug
Selecting an item from the drop down list with return key (or by clicking on it) causes AutoCompleteTextBox to lose focus.
To Reproduce
See gif
Expected behavior
(keyboard) Focus should be set back to the text box
Screenshots
Environment (please complete the following information):
- .net: 4.8.0
- Version 3.3.0.0
Additional context
One reason why this is an issue is that not less times the developer bound the return key to a command. Or sometimes you want to allow auto complete but user is allowed to type anything further than that. In both cases the end user has to manually set keyboard focus back.
Best way to see how auto complete should behave is using Edge or Chrome browser and type into the address bar, select an item via arrow keys and see what happens (keyboard focus is set back to the address bar).
