I also find this feature very useful, the only thing is that the 
editable combo boxes, like the address bar souldn't have that feature, 
because when i write something in the address bar i must pay attention 
that the cursor isn't under the combo box, because when it expands for 
the auto-completition, the mouse auto-selects the item that is 
accidentally under it. and this is very annoying.
