Object type dropdown disappeared in the the object properties window

[theor]

The object types defined or imported in the the preferences window used to be displayed as a dropdown in the object properties popup in 0.9.1:

Now it's a textbox with completion only in 0.10.2:

Which means, there's no easy way to see all the available options. Could it at least show all completions on an empty input ?

[flexelektro]

yes ! "subscribing".

You're right, I would like to have this option as well certainly. Eventually I'll have another look into this to see whether I can turn it into an editable combo box instead of using a completer. I don't think I can easily trigger the popup on empty input. It closes automatically in that case and this is implemented in Qt.

even the old dropdown would be an improvement !

[bjorn]

Yes, the old dropdown was an editable combo box. But it's more complicated to place an editable combo box inside the property editor than it was to just put such a widget in a plain dialog.

ah okay. I haven't looked at the source at this point, so i have no clue .. :)
