Enable a scrollbar in the Locations dropdown #319

What new or enhanced feature are you proposing?

Enable a standard combo box with scrollbar for the Locations function.

What goal would this enhancement help you achieve?

Accelerate scrolling in large lists by use of the the thumb or keyboard 
commands (e.g. Page Up/Dn). Avoid accidental display of a locations that was 
last highlighted (by scrolling) if the user accidentally moves their mouse away 
from the list.

the "Locations function" if that is what I think it is we do have a scroll bar 
& Page Up/Dn works fine (at least in my pc) see screenshot attached

ah, sorry. i was meaning the search function on the main screen, where the user 
can click the dropdown button at the right side, to see the list that you 
generated in the tool above. the screenshot above implements the standard 
scrollbar that i expect to see on the main page.

I don't think this is as easy as it looks, that is a default gtk comboBox no 
bells or whistles.

But what I did added was an EntryCompletion that is sort of an Auto-Completion 
or IntelliSense, see screenshot attached.

Right click on the text in the query and in the options you should see an 
option "Auto-Completion Method" see if that helps you for the moment...

that looks nice. it should certainly help to work around the issue with long 
lists. given that you're using the standard gtk function, this will be quite 
helpful. i saw that you had some code for searching and grooming user input, so 
hopefully you were able to just plug that into this query function with not 
much trouble. thank you.
