Autocomplete: Selected Text Trigger Usability Issue

Description
When you type a letter in an autocomplete box, the list pulls up. Click outside of the list (let's say a user hastily clicks and "misses" the list). The list box closes, when you select the letter and retype it - the list doesn't show up.
This doesn't happen if you type a different letter. It may be more a minor usability error, "Where did the list go? I retyped the letter. I know there are results!"

The actual commit is this: https://github.com/cgack/jquery-ui/commit/d003c58489c83bfa41ad090a2071b420368287a9
While I can see the issue as valid, I don't think this approach is acceptable. We specifically don't want any key event to trigger a search, e.g. pressing modifier keys don't modify the input, so shouldn't trigger a search.

This basically takes cgack's approach and accounts for modifier keys.
