Description
Hi Folks,
This is a bug I've seen for months now, finally prompted to report a bug. It can be seen in the demo page (http://jqueryui.com/autocomplete/#custom-data) and is reduced in the jsfiddle.
Problem: suggestion is auto-highlighted when mouse is positioned below <input>.
Browser: modern Firefox (16,17,18,19)
OS: PC, MAC
JSFiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/sSPn5/
To reproduce:
1. click in <input> to gain focus
2. move mouse a little below <input>
3. type "j", "q"
4. note that a selection like "JQuery" is autohighlighted. In other browsers, you have to wiggle the mouse to highlight.
4. if you click "enter", this selection is copied to the <input> and the form submitted
From playing with the jquery UI code, an internal ui overlay focus event is fired.
Thank you,
Gary

If you're feeling adventurous, you can go to about:config and create a new boolean preference layout.reflow.synthMouseMove and set it to false. The bug will go away :-)
I'm discussing this with Mozilla devs right now, trying to get a change upstream.

Hi Scott,
Thank you for the quick reply. Regarding the isNewMenu flag.. you mean to see it to TRUE permanently? I assume not, as that would cause other problems.
The flag currently flips from true to false and back to true when the overly closes. In the jsfiddle, using the latest jQ UI code that has isNewMenu, the auto-highlight still happens.
In order to fix this in my (older) version of jQ UI (1.8.23), I had to strip out a bit in menu:focus and start tracking the mouse position. This is working for the time being.
I'll start upgrading to jQ 1.91 and jQ UI 1.10.. and revisit this later
thank you,
-Gary

It's not set to true permanently. It's set to true on every new suggestion and set to false after the first mouseover/menufocus event.

Thanks Scott,
I see your edit here: https://github.com/jquery/jquery-ui/commit/d5d3a745b00dd476195cf25b35cc02f3bc31f814
You guys are quick.

Verified this against master http://jsfiddle.net/sSPn5/1/. The behavior does not occur in IE10, Chrome, Safari, or Opera. I find it very interesting that the auto highlighting occurs on the 2nd character typed.
