Why can't I select a null value in a ComboBox?

The null "item" is not being selected by the keyboard at all - rather the previous item is being unselected and no subsequent item is (able to be) selected. This is why, after "selecting" the null item with the keyboard, you are thereafter unable to re-select the previously selected item ("Hello") - except via the mouse!

I know this answer isn't what you asked for (an explanation of why it doesn't work with the mouse), but I think the premise is flawed.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
