I'm on Windows 10, build 1903

I'm manually entering prices in the Price Database. Apparently, the tab 
order of the fields skips over the field value and will only land on the 
down arrow to the right of the field. (yes, the focus will land on the 
other fields in the window, just not the value for the security 
ticker/name).

Thus, I cannot type the security symbol to have the list select it once 
I type in enough unique characters.  I have to use the down arrow to 
open the list and scroll through it with the mouse to get to the 
security I want - many of mine are at the bottom of the list - tedious.

This used to work in 2.x series of GnuCash - I could tab to the security 
symbol/name list, start typing a symbol and the list would open up and 
scroll to the first matching symbol. Usually with only 3-4 characters 
typed I'd be at the intended security and could press Enter and it would 
select it into the Security value field, and I could tab on from there 
to put in the date and price.
