I have a code which display the text of the cell underneath it. However, it seems that the Combobox just refuse to display the correct text. As you can see in the screenshot
Text
property is different from the displaying text. It's the previous value.ScreenUpdating
is True
Other information:
If the code is of relevant, here it is.

After weeks of frustration, I am please to announce that I found out the cause. It was the Freeze Panes that affects the display of combobox. Particularly, ComboBox placed in freezed column is not refreshed as frequently as in other cell. In that area, combobox almost act as it's disabled (visually). No text changes update even when you type, no selection/highlighting. I changed to only freeze upper rows and the combobox works just as expected. That's why my other comboboxes in other sheets behaved correctly.
I suspect that Excel tries to save resources by making the freezed part not as responsive. That behavior override Application.ScreenUpdating
and not exposed to user.
Since this "feature" could be version specific, my system is Win 10 pro, Excel 16 pro plus.
