Drop Down List drops twice

[Wikisnoodle]

I have a simple layout that, amongst other things, displays a single editable field with a drop down list. As the user enters the layout the list automatically displays. The problem is that after they choose something from the list and the field fills, the list drops down again, presumably because the cursor has nowhere to go. No other field can be entered and I don't want tab-able buttons, nor hidden fields.

Can anyone suggest how I can resolve this frustration? (v11)

Script Trigger set on that field that Commits Record.

Superb - isn't it easy when you know how - fairly recently jumped from v7, only dabbled with Script Triggers - must dabble some more. Cheers!
