cannot set SelectedIndex = -1 in data bound ComboBox

Hi all

I noticed that if I link a combobox to data table (setting DataSource
property), then it is very hard to clear selection by setting SelectedIndex =
-1. I have to set SelectedIndex = -1 twice: first call sets Index to 0, and
only after second call selection is cleared.

There is even bigger issue here. If my combo box is on a tabpage of a
multi-tab control, then every time I switch tabs, the combobox jumps to first
item again
even if I cleared it before by setting SelectedIndex = -1.

Does anybody else have the same problem?

Thank you
