Gemini 5: Choosing resource - cannot use keyboard to filter

usage
items

Why? Is it a bug? If choosing a component it works!

It depends how many you have on the list. If the list is less than 10 entries we disable the search.

We have 15 entries. Sorry, I don't understand why you disable it. Could you please explain me why now it is better in comparison to previous version? Keyboard navigation is worse in Gemini 5...

I have to agree. The keyboard navigation is really lacking. Many times the dropdown lists go off the bottom of the page for the bottom item on the page and I cant even reach the scrollbar with my mouse!

We are looking to imporve the keyboard navigation in the next release, your feedback is welcomed. Can you send screenshots of the issue with the list going off the bottom?

I don't know if it is the same case as Virgil mentioned but this happens to me.

As a workaround you can change the assets/all.min.js file to always show the search so keyboard navigation will work. Search for:

this.show_search=this.options.show_search||!1

and replace it with:

this.show_search=true

This fix adds the search field always. It is better. A bit. If fixes strange behaviour e.g. popup is partly out of screen.

It would be nice if it will work as a standard combobox. e.g. pressing the "c" key it selects the "Closed" item - the first item which starts with the "c". No search field needed (it looks odd if you have search field for 3 items). Can you add that standard behaviour in a future? Thank you. As you can see I'm not only one who requested it.

However thank you for support.
