Description Nicolò Chieffo 2009-05-02 11:52:33 UTC 
Currently if a GtkComboBox has hundreds of entries (see the attached screenshot), it is very difficult to find out what you want.
Especially 2 things are really missing:
- a scroll bar to reach with more speed the selected "zone" (for instance to scroll till the bottom can use lots of time, 8 seconds in the screenshot example)
- a text input to reach the entry which starts with the entered text

yep, dupe of Bug 590276 and in fact already possible in GTK+ 2/3 in the appears-as-list  mode (via the style property of the same name)


> - a text input to reach the entry which starts with the entered text

that's Bug 567141
