hi! My ComboBox instance is ‘select’.

```auto
select.enabled = false;

```

All fine. The cb is greyed out.

```auto
select.enabled = true;

```

The cb is not greyed out anymore: fine. BUT: it seems I cannot select an item anymore. The dropdown works, but after the click on a item, it doesn’t appear in the prompt area.

Any idea?
