I am unable to find the magic place where I can insert my cursor at the end using a mouse. It seems to always place at the second to last character or click the drop down.
Additionally, if I use a keyboard to move the cursor to the end, it seems to disappear.

Research direction
Start by reproducing the behavior shown in the linked video with an editable combobox whose text exceeds the control width. Inspect the relevant WPF control and input behavior; done means the mouse can place the cursor at the end and keyboard navigation leaves the caret visible.
