Telerik suggested a workaround but it seems to break other things (e.g. RadAjaxLoadingPanel) The workaround is to subscribe to the OnClientDropDownClosed event: function OnClientDropDownClosed(sender, eventArgs) { var text = sender.get_text(); var item = sender.findItemByText(text) if (item) { item.select(); } else { sender.clearSelection(); } }
Is the plan to fix this bug anytime soon?
