I was answering to this point onmly. No "property editor" mentioned here. And in kexi, type of field is selected (in design time) within spreadsheetlike table view, not combo box.

There's combobox used: KoProperty::ComboBoxAlt+DownArrow works nice here. Maybe there's a rare case when some key events are filtered, if so I am ready to fix this.

See Table Designer and Query Designer.

Yes, the and this is probably hidden in your compilation, because table designer's GUI needs to be improved first. Only at-least-partially usable things are unhidden in Kexi.

It's KexiComboBoxTableEdit, which uses entire uber-flexible KexiTableView in it's popup area.
