Dropdown with remote filter clearing the value

Question

I have a combobox which loads using a ajax store to load the data. Everything works first time and I can select the item in the list coming from the server.

The problem is that when dropping the list down when there is a value in it, it hides the drop down list and clears the previously selected value.

Is this by design or is there a way to show the list filtering by the currently selected or typed value?

Answer 1

After changing the queryMode: 'local', the dropdown retains the value. I believe it is because with queryMode as remote, the data is fetched and set again on combobox and then after it sets the data, the combobox gets cleared. But I have found a same example where the value is not getting cleared, you can try this fiddle.
