Hi,

In this screenshot taken from Firefox:
http://www.nabble.com/user-files/236030/Captura007.gif 

we see that the edit field is focused even if it is readonly.  
When using the keyboard, the button at the right is just a visual remainder
that we have a list of choices to select from.
I vote for the text field to receive the focus.  The main advantages are: 

- you don't have 2 tab stops for the same field
- the textfield can be highlighted when it combo receives focus

The text field would need also to handle the enter and esc keys for
opening/closing the popup, up and down arrows, ....

Does anyone have a better idea?
