Yes, that was it!!! Thank you. The beginning of my comboBox_TextChanged method now looks like this:
C#
private void comboBox_TextChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    int selectedIndex = comboBox.SelectedIndex;  // When we edit the currently shown text, then comboBox.SelectedIndex becomes -1!
    if (0 <= selectedIndex)
    {
        currentlySelectedIndex = selectedIndex;
    }
    bool enableItem = (selectedIndex < 0) ? false : items[selectedIndex].enabled;
    comboBox.ForeColor = enableItem ? Color.Black : Color.Gray;
