Preserve input in combo boxes

Noticed that with the regex combo box in the mass rename screen, but there must be lots of other boxes with the same behavior.

If something is input into a combo box and an arrow is pressed, a value from the list is displayed and the input text is lost. Idea: add the input text to the list so that it is possible to undo the effect of an arrow.

Actually TC prevents exactly this whn you press up or down arrow in the [N] field of the multi-rename tool.

I see. The name combo box behaves differently from the Search For and Replace With combo boxes and neither behave like the Extension box which is not a combo box at all. maybe all should behave like the Name combo box some future time?
