I'm trying to build a template for combobox based on msdn examples but I have strange error. More precisely if I wrote long text in normal combobox the text is moving to left and we see caret all the time. However in msdn examples when I wrote long text caret is moving outside of combo. Here is picute how it look like:
When I select text it looks like this:
I have used examples from Framework 3.5 and Framework 4 combobox help and after copy and paste I'm keep getting the same situation. Thanks for any help.

Your Border
doesn't contain functionality for automatically scrolling the content when it goes off the screen, so it just keeps drawing it. Change it to a ScrollViewer
and it will work.
<ControlTemplate x:Key="ComboBoxTextBox" TargetType="TextBox">
<ScrollViewer x:Name="PART_ContentHost" Focusable="False" />
