rich:comboBox overrides its list value with selected

[lenyas66]

I noticed some strange behavior in how rich:comboBox shows its select items and wonder somebody could help me to figure out where is the problem.

I have a comboBox, which is used to select a value for a table's column. When use clicks on the Add button on the screen value selected in the box is supposed to be added to the table. I noticed that after value is added, it is also overriding the first value in a dropdown list of this combo box.

For example, if I have values A, B and C in drop down and select first A and click Add and then B and click Add.

Then, I would see "B,B,C" in a drop down instead of original "A,B,C".

I verified that List of SelectItems behind this drop down never changes. Any ideas what might be causing it?

Please see the piece of code below as well as front page and supporting bean files attached.

Thanks,

Leonid

I think, it is some kind of a bug in rich:comboBox, because I was able to address this issue by re-initializing the list variable (shortNameProductBenchList) on the server side. Value of this variable remains the same, but somehow it shows correctly in the browser now.

BTW, I am using RichFaces 3.3.1.GA.

try to use ajaxSingle=true at add command button.

Unfortunately, this couldn't be done, because changes are not limited to the table only.

Like I said above, I found the solution, but I still think, there is some bug in rich:comboBox logic.
