Description
Supplied patch changes the behaviour of the ComboBox?(or select..whatever) such that if you hit the down arrow it forces a full population of the options list. This makes the most sense imho as the ComboBox? is making itself "look" like a select but not behaving the same way in one very key portion, which is pulling down a list.
I would argue that the only scenerio where the current default functionality is valid is with an "Autocompleter" sort of searchable/filterable text field. This patch satisfies both needs as manual text typing still filters the searches appropriately.

Jesse, even with the current code, if you press the down arrow without typing anything into the field first, the selection list is fully populated, right? What is the issue exactly?

The issue only comes up ~after~ you've selected something. In that scenerio clicking the down arrow only gives you a list of the item you have already selected. I thought long and hard about this one, but I can't find a scenerio in my head where a user would want the selection list to appear with only their current selection when clicking it. Can you?

OK, I guess that makes sense. Checked in change [4402]. Hope it's not controversial.

Hooray! Someone else told me they weren't sure about it, but feel free to point anyone with a problem with it at me and I'll try my best to justify my thinking.
