Bug Description

when i activate the font selection dropdown, i can no longer type the name in the box to find it.. as i would be able to if the dropdown was not activated and i were to begin typing its name into the font selection box.

a working example of this feature can be observed in openoffice for example. you can begin typing and it finds the first font whose name starts with the characters you have typed.. you can activate the dropdown and begin typing and it scrolls down and selects the first font whose name starts with the characters you have typed
