Description
Currently it doesn't seem possible in the Leap API to access the combobox dropdown elements.
Note that this only affects the expanded field; NOT the button itself.
ComboBox examples:
While we can work around this with the first type (type the text in); we don't have this option for the second type. Additionally we cannot see anything in the dropdown using leap itself. We also don't know the location/rect for that structure.
If I had to guess; the combo_list (and presumably it's children) just needs to be made visible through getPaths somehow. I haven't dug into how exactly that logic works though.
Test Plan
- Use leap to access a combobox
- Select/read an option from the dropdown using leap
