So you'd need to upload somewhere else and link to it.

The only other dropdown component that we know has been wrapped as a Wicket component and which supports ajax is selectize [1]. We will almost certainly migrate to that, but there are a couple of blockers: a) Wicket 7.1.0 has a bug in it which makes it a non-starter (and 7.0.0 has performance problems) b) the selectize component is not available on Wicket 6.x c) we need to upgrade to Wicket 7.x (though Martin has done this on a branch with no known issues arising other than (a) d) Wicket 7.2.0 is not yet released. So realistically this may not make it for 1.11.0; depends on when 7.2.0 is out, plus some time playing to see if the move to Wicket 7.x introduces any issues, plus also the time to rework Isis to use the new selectize component. > I would be extremely grateful if you could give me any hint if you do so, > because this bug is seen as quite critical in a deployed application of a > customer of mine ;-) > > Appreciate that, and we've been living with it for a while now too. Our users have it categorized as irritating rather than critical, but of course different apps have different usage patterns. Sorry not to have better news ...
