[Bug] Picker control in Xamarin WPF app does not dropdown if you click the text

[bhaynesch]

Description

My app uses Picker control in multiple places and all of them now have an editable text control in them. I have to click the arrow on the right to actually drop down the control. I upgraded my app to 5.0.0.2012 (from a 4.5 version) and this is the new behavior. On Android and iOS it still drops down if you click the text area. Either need to fix the control or provide a property to prevent editing. UPDATE: I did figure out that in WPF, it's now support "type ahead" so people can manually find items in a list by typing. My dropdowns aren't complex enough to need this. I need to turn it off.

Steps to Reproduce

1. Create a Picker control in a WPF app with a list of text items
2. Run the app and click on the text area of the Picker control. It now highlights the text and allows editing.

Expected Behavior

Clicking in text area should drop down the control

Actual Behavior

Clicking in text area is highlighting the text and allowing editing

Taking into consideration the remaining lifetime of Xamarin.Forms, the platform this is about, the age of this issue and the traction this issue has seen I think it's unlikely that this will get fixed. If it is something that you still would like to have, please consider opening a PR. Thanks!
