      Open attached FXML file in SceneBuilder
      Choose Menubar > Preview > Preview in Window
      Click inside the ComboBox and type a string.
      Now hit the left arrow key - BUG - instead of the caret moving to the previous character in the string the ComboBox loses focus completely.

      To clarify, repeat the process with the TextField in the FXML and you will witness the correct behaviour - the left/right arrow keys move the caret as expected.

      This bug impacts SceneBuilder UI as the inspector panel uses editable ComboBoxes extensively - when editing the values the loss of focus is very annoying.
