Combobox multiple fields on same line

Hello, I have a bug that started yesterday. I have a combox box mapped to a Sharepoint list datasource. I successfully put two fields in the dropdown menu, which are company name "clients", and its addres "Adresse". The search field is the company name alone.

Originally, primary field (company name) and secondary field (address) were on two separate lines but starting about yerterday, both field are pasted on the same line.

This is my combo box configuration :

Here is the result when clicking on the combo box. I've hide the data but the red line shows where the break line should be :

This combobox is in a form. So far i have erased and added a new combobox. I have tested with a new combobox outside the form. I have tested with a new combobox and linked to a other datasource. I have deleted the datasource connector et re-connected it. Nothing worked.

Suspecting my app to be corrupted, I created a new one and it did the same. I don't understand. Any idea?

Thank you.

Forms can be very fickle creatures, I find. I'll make changes in the app Editor then come back to the form later and find they've been reset.

Two things I've started doing is to (1) Unlock ALL of the DataCards, even if I don't need to, and (2) Save my app after small changes. These 2 small things 'seem' to keep those form gremlins away but they can still crop up every now and then, just less often.

I have the same issue! Last Friday combo boxes worked well but now the values are combined when playing the app in the editor. The published app still works. My combo boxes are not in the form.

I don't know how I managed to solve my problem but here is what I've done.

I've set the Combobox disposition to "Person" via the Data menu :
(this is an example stolen on the web, my system is in french)

I've configure the displayfield and searchfield via the advanced properties (on the right) :
Normally the configuration on the Data menu (left) and in the advanced properties (right) should be the same but for any reason, this worked for me.
Thanks everyone, hope it helps someone.

Great! I created the support ticket for MS. They said that the original issue has been identified as a regression. Their product team is working on fixing it.
