Dirtychange for combobox not working

[arvindwill]

Attached the combobox to a panel with dirtychange listener.

listeners:{
            dirtychange:function(){this.createETextField(arguments)}
        }

the function triggers when when some text was typed on the combobox but when selecting from the dropdown options this function is not called.
Am i making any mistake or understanding the "dirtychange" event wrongly?

thanks

I think "dirty" refers mainly to someone typing into the combo's input field. Otherwise, take a gander at the "change" and "select" events.

Whilst you're right, this presents a problem, because updateRecord respects the dirty flag of Fields.
So if a form does loadRecord, and then you select a new value in a combobox, and then updateRecord, your record doesn't get updated.

Am I missing something, or is this a bug?
