Autocomplete: Allow default behaviour on enter when menu is open but inactive

[Jörn Zaefferer]

To reproduce: Type something to open the autocomplete, then hit enter, without selecting something. The default behaviour, eg. submitting a search form should happen. Instead the default behaviour is prevented.

Hello!

First i want to thank you for this great plugin. I really love it and its very comfortable to use. The only thing which bothers me is this enhancement (dont want to call it bug). Is there any fixe available?

Best regards!

Confirmed a bug in version 1.8.5. I was previously using version 1.8.2 when it was last working correctly.

I worked around this by removing the following from jquery-ui-1.8.5.min.js:

case d.ENTER:case d.NUMPAD_ENTER:a.menu.element.is(":visible")&&c.preventDefault();

Note that this is not a bug. The current behavior is intentional but we're planning on changing it.

Autocomplete: Only prevent the default action for enter when a menu item is active. Fixes #6038 - Autocomplete: Allow default behaviour on enter when menu is open but inactive.

Thanks Ján Suchal.
