Description Stuart 2013-02-23 04:05:48 UTC 
create a combobox, click has entry, this will create a GtkEntry, run the window and you won't be able to type in it, you can cut and paste and select drop down items if set but can not enter an item from the keyboard.

This is because the GtkEntry has "Can Focus" is set to no, on the common tab,  

took me ages to find this as I could create it and it would work, but not when created in glade... if the GtkEntry is created on the form this does not happen

Curiously, is this in Glade or in the loaded GtkBuilder created interface ?

If you use the preview feature to look at your interface, do you still
have the same issues in the preview ?
Comment 2 Stuart 2013-03-05 06:01:18 UTC 
Hi I just tested this again,  I still get the same thing, both in the preview and in my application.
Comment 3 Tristan Van Berkom 2013-03-31 12:49:16 UTC 
This is tricky.

It's supposed to work because Glade will introspect all live property values
after fetching the combo box's internal entry which it just created.

This behaviour was implemented for similar reasons since bug 638079.

Need to dig a bit deeper to figure out what's going on.
