Hi.

I noticed a strange behaviour when typing an exclamation mark into a not READ_ONLY combo using Firefox 66+. Instead of showing the exclamation mark it deletes the value and selects the first item.

It's reproducable with RWT Contols Demo.
Just open it in firefox and start typing 'ABC !' into the first Combo.
It's not only the exclamation mark but also other combinations of SHIFT and number keys.

When an existing item is selected (e.g. 'Java'), I found the following combinations to trigger (may depend on keyboard layout):
SHIFT + 1 --> select first item
SHIFT + 2 --> select last item
SHIFT + 6 --> select previous item
SHIFT + 8 --> select next item

Chrome and Edge doesn't show this behaviour.
Is this behaviour intended, given by firefox or should I open a bug report?

Regards,
Michael
