Hi Greg.

What bugs be most is that the ComboBoxEntry _does_ have the same size as
the normal entry. It has almost the same functionality (in fact, it has
more functionality) than the ComboBox, but doesn't have the possibility
to disable the editing, which would convert it into a (desirable)
ComboBox.

Thanks for the input.
