A couple of comments to the bug (and fix) itself:

- is it really a bug or a nice-to-have enhancement? couldn't find an example in win, didn't try too hard and nowadays,
  such plain combos are not a really frequent
- while none of the virtualized controls (nor ChoiceBox) combines selection with scrolling to the selected item. For
  combo and choice, I see no reason not make it the default behavior. We need to make certain it behaves "naturally" when
  navigating in the open popup. instead of catching every list.select (and not forget the unselect) we might consider
  doing it in a showing handler  alternatively, we might consider to go deeper and support it directly in the listView
