Autocomplete: selection doesn't work well on Android 4.2

[Thrys]

Concerned Versions :

• JQuery UI : 1.10.3
• Android : 4.2.2
• Chrome : 27.0.1453.90
• Smartphone : Nexus 4 / JDQ 39
• WebKit : 537.36
• V8 : 3.17.6.14

To reproduce :

1. Go to public demo with the smartphone : ​http://jqueryui.com/autocomplete/
2. Tape 'P' in the field (the proposals appear)
3. Select for example 'PHP"
4. The autocomplete select 'ActionScript'

Normaly we attempt that the selected element appear in the field.

PS : We don't use the jquery mobile autocomplete because it's modify the hash of the url, which damage the routing of our MVC framework.

Hi Thrys,

Thanks for taking the time to contribute to the jQuery UI project. I was unable to recreate this with a Android 4.2.x tablet or a Android 4.1.x phone. I can have some other people on the team give this a shot.

Do you see the issue on the demo page directly: ​http://jqueryui.com/resources/demos/autocomplete/default.html?

Because we get so many tickets, we often need to return them to the initial reporter for more information. If that person does not reply within 14 days, the ticket will automatically be closed, and that has happened in this case. If you still are interested in pursuing this issue, feel free to add a comment with the requested information and we will be happy to reopen the ticket if it is still valid. Thanks!

Sorry for the delay. I just try the issue on the demo page (​http://jqueryui.com/resources/demos/autocomplete/default.html) I have the same problem with the same configuration. To reproduce the problem, I fill "p" in the field and when I click on "Python", the component choose "Perl", when I click on "PHP", it chose "Lisp", for "Perl" it chose "JavaScript".

The behevior it's like if the component select the item two levels above.

I still cannot recreate this but I can have some others try it out.

Looks like we were able to recreate this, but it appears to happen sporadically. Also I couldn't recreate this on a Nexus 7 running Android 4.2.x.

I don't know if this problem is linked to the first, but on Firefox for mobile Version 21.0 the component doesn't work of all.

For reminder the configuration :

• JQuery UI : 1.10.3
• Android : 4.2.2
• Firefox : 21.0
• Smartphone : Nexus 4 / JDQ 39

To reproduce this "new" problem, tape what you want in the field, try to select an item and the component display nothing.

PS : I can create an other issue for this problem ?

If you think it's a completely unrelated problem then you can create a new issue, although it sounds like this might be the same thing. I'll give this a shot later tonight and see if I can recreate this in Firefox.

The component works fine for me using Firefox 23 on a Nexus 7 running Android 4.2.2.

I've just come across this issue, on selection does not work (data source is Ajax)

jQuery: 1.9.1 jQuery UI: 1.10.4 stock browser of Android 4.0.3

Also tried ​http://jqueryui.com/autocomplete/ and having same problem.

Does NOT happen on different browser (Chrome, Firefox) on the same phone
