Bug report - Setting a combo box to hex adds a "0" every time you start typing

LV 2011:

 

  1. Drop a combo box.
  2. Make sure it's set to hex display and to allow undefined strings.
  3. Type in a character (let's say A and then 5).

The result in this example should be "A5", but most of the time, you will get "0A 05" instead, because the combo box seems to add an empty nibble before the first character you type. I say "most of the time" because sometimes it does work correctly. This also happens if the string already has content and you're adding to it.

 

It should also be pointed out that if you don't allow undefined strings and the display is set it hex, it looks like you can't type anything in the box.

 

 

Personally, I rarely use combo boxes and I never used them in hex mode, but it seems to be a bug nonetheless.

Thank you for reporting this, I have also been able to reproduce the strange behavior of the Combo Box.  I will look into this issue further and see if this has already been reported.
