That's right. It's a bug in TComboBox. You can only set text, that is already in the list. (I have added a little workaround SetComboBoxText).

Yes, but something of the combobox gets the focus. After pressing tab once the combobox has focus.

There is another serious bug: When the list of the TCombobox gots the focus and you press Return, the find dialog is hidden, but the list stays. Shane has implemented the TCombobox, so perhaps he knows why. I think, this should be fixed, before we use it.

I added your history list to the editoroptions instead of the environment options.
