Same thing happens for the objects and locations - can't enter a custom value.

We tested auto completion combo box on Vista, XP, Windows 7 and it worked without any problem. Last thing left would be the Java VM used. Please copy/paste the text shown in About → System Properties.

Try to un-install the Java VM and all Java updates installed (use the software manager). Then download and install only the latest version (version 6 update 29) from

http://www.java.com/en/download/index.jsp

I don't think that will fix it, but just to be sure.

BTW: Do you use a different input device other than mouse, e.g. a Wacom tablet?

I reinstalled Java using the latest version (see above), but as predicted the behaviour is the same and the "bug" is not fixed by that. I do remember that I could use those combobox-fields before, as I used them to create locations. And there was a Java-Update recently - maybe the newer java-version caused this issue?
How can I solve this temporarily until it is fixed? Might it help to install an older version of Java? I wanted to edit my older storybook-project files to add tags, etc.

Yes, I do use a Wacom tablet too. But I don't see any connection, as I use that tablet for a long time already - even before I used "Storybook" for the first time.

Sure you can try to install an older version of Java.

The thing with the tablets is they cause different so called events then a mouse. Anyway - I tested these combo boxes with a bamboo tablet here and it worked. So there is probably no connection.

If you could try it the one from SwingX (http://swingx.java.net) works? Simply click on the "Launch" button. This will start the demo. Then choose "AutoComplete Demo". The one that is similar to our combo box is called "JComboBox (non-strict)". You should be able to

• enter any text
• choose text from the list
• change such a selected text

Thanks

Sorry for my late reply. I saw too late the additions you made to the last comment. I tried that SwingX application and within that it worked as described. Will this be implemented in the next version of storybook?
As for now, I can't really use Storybook, as I still can't create tags, locations and objects correctly.

yes, it is already implemented
