I think that the bug is that Auto-complete doesn't clear the completion value any time that an edit is attempted. e.g. anytime the cursor position changes from the position at which the auto-complete guess occurred, then the auto-complete guess should be removed. |

I'd personally like to see auto-complete not take place in the text field and instead in the drop-down. The chance of mis-edits is too big. For example if you have a value of abcd in the database and paste ab you will end up with abcd. It is up to the user to notice the incorrect value. If only the drop-down was to be used this wouldn't happen. This would also allow to improve auto-complete to include similar values (for example accented and non-accented matching values) or even be able to show matching (not-from-beginning as current) values. |
