Comboboxes in grid editor should be left aligned if the column isn't wide enough

[FollowSteph]

So for example if my values are:

John Smith at 555 Main Street and the column is only wide enough for John Smith the combobox actually shows "ain Street" for the selected item which is very hard to read. All other items are correctly left aligned so that you can see the value as expected (John Smith at 55...)

I think this is the same as https://github.com/vaadin/framework/issues/9795

The problem is not related to Grid and Editor at all. It is just ComboBox where the default text cursor position in at the end.

It is a bit oppionated and application specific if this is desired or not.

On alternative for a solution is to use PrefixComboBox add-on as it has method to set the default position of the cursor.
