Answer 1

When you delete all items from the ComboBox the cursor will be set to the first position., So after each character that you type the cursor will be shifted to the left and you get the feeling of typing from right to left.

The solution would be to set the SelectionStart after the for-loop by hand to the end of the Text:

comboBox1.SelectionStart = comboBox1.Text.Length;
