Pick a commonly used GtkEntry with search e.g. Customer Report, General/Customer option. It has a GtkEntry which allows typeahead search. Start typing customer name. It will show matched customers on a drop-down. Click on any match to select customer. EXPECTED: Clicked customer is chosen for the option. ACTUAL: Another drop-down appears with a single choice, the clicked customer. Click it again and it will finally accept customer. OS: ALL
Also appears on Currency options e.g. Transaction Report's "Report Currency" option.
OK, this is an interesting one and is down to setting the completion to be inline. For the Customer entry, if you look at gnc-general-search.c line 401 you see inline is set to TRUE which allows you to type exact case or not with menu, so... Customer 1's name is 'Anon Customer' Customer 2's name is 'Anox Customer' Customer 3's name is 'My Customer' Type 'A', the above shows in menu with 'Ano' in the entry with 'no' selected. To overcome what you are seeing, you can use... gtk_entry_completion_set_popup_single_match (completion, FALSE); But if you have only one customer starting with the same case first letter as above then typing 'm' will not show it. For the Currency, the inline is set in gnc-gtk-utils.c line 181 So in conclusion I think the best option is to not enable inline completion. What do you think as I do not use this?
Bob, interestingly setting both to FALSE fixes the whole thing completely: still allows type-ahead search, and there's no double dropdown list at all...

Bob, I've fixed it by removing the "gtk_entry_completion_set_inline_completion(completion, TRUE);" altogether. It fixes it well for me.
