Suggestion: keyboard response in data type dropdown

Consider the situation where you need to adjust a table by adding a new 
column/field. Easy enough, open table properties, choose columns tab, 
press add and enter a column name in the name box.

Next comes the data type. Escape is responsive, plus up and down arrows, 
and pg up and pg down, but regular keys are not, so if you need a data 
type at the end of the list like 'serial' the only way to get to this is 
to use pgdown and then the up arrow or roll the mouse over the bottom of 
the menu until you eventually arrive at serial. If 's-e-r..' from the 
keyboard was responsive it would be helpful.

Well, on Linux, we have issues with autocompletion in comboboxes when
using wxWidgets 2.8. Now that we have some sort of wxWidgets 2.9
support, let's see if it works better. [... after some compilation
time ...] OK then. It doesn't.

Maybe it's not wxWidgets fault after all. Still another thing to investigate.
