Bug ID: 42898
           Summary: Listbox keyboard input
           Product: Wine
           Version: unspecified
          Hardware: x86-64
                OS: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: -unknown

A listbox widget in Wine does not react the same way to keyboard input as in
Windows.
In Windows, you can type the first characters of a word and the cursor will
jump to the first item matching *all* the characters you typed. This allows you
to drill down quickly to the item you want.
In Wine, when you start typing it only considers the *last* character you typed
when looking for a match. On listboxes where you have lots of items starting
with the same character, this can make it problematic to drill down to the
correct item.
This may be better explained with a simple example. Suppose you have a listbox
with the following items, sorted alphabetically:
* AMBER
* BLUE
* BROWN
* GREEN
* ORANGE
* RED
* YELLOW
Windows behavior:
* if you type "B", it will drill down to "BLUE"
* if you type "BR", it will drill down to "BROWN"
* if you type "BRO", it will drill down to "BROWN"
Wine behavior:
* if you type "B", it will drill down to "BLUE"
* if you type "BR", it will drill down to "RED"
* if you type "BRO", it will drill down to "ORANGE"
