Description

Originally by @jojule


This would make re-entering text much faster. Currently you have to click and then select the text before replacing it.

The issue does not name files or tests. Start by locating the Combobox implementation in the Vaadin framework and reviewing its current click and text-selection behavior. Done means an optional select-all-on-click behavior is available and works without changing the existing default behavior.
