OnSelect for combobox is not triggering on first click

Hi. I have set a variable to show certain "Help Text" to show on an HTML display based on which combobox is selected. The issue is that when I first select the combobox, the OnSelect does nothing until I click an item from the dropdown. Once I do that, the OnSelect then works when I select the Combobox as well as when I select the item from the list. 

 

I tested the code I had and put a button to reveal it using OnSelect which works great, but that is adding one more click than the users want to do.

 

Does anybody have any suggestions on how to fix this issue?

 

Thanks

    Hello, @Hungry, can you try the OnChange property instead of the OnSelect?

    Hi @AhmedSalih , I have tried but it didn't change anything. I think it is an issue with the code I am using in my HTMLtext which is setting the form to blank until the onselect changes the variable. Working on changes now but will probably stop for today and try again tomorrow.

    @Hungry, perfect, it you didn't get figure it out, sharing the code might help us identify the issue better.
