Description
Vaadin Version : 8.1.0
The Cursor of the ComboBox is always set to the end of the filtertext which clears every text selection.
This makes it very difficult for the user to clear the filter text or overwrite the filter text.
For example:
Select an item.
Select the filter text with "Ctrl + a".
Release "Ctrl + a".
Cursor jumps to the filter text end and clears the previously textselection.
This can be reproduced in the ComboBox example in Vaadin Sampler

Research direction
Start by reproducing the selection-reset behavior in the Vaadin Sampler ComboBox example, then trace the ComboBox filter-text handling. Done means selecting the filter text with Ctrl+A preserves the selection after releasing the keys, so the text can be cleared or overwritten.
