Autocomplete: Mouse auto highlights option in IE

[swathit]

Hi,

I am filing a bug for the issue that I am seeing on IE8 with jquery AC. I see the issue on demo page too.

steps: type something - once you see suggestions, hover on to one of the suggestions(say 2nd row), continue typing and hit enter - instead of one we typed the one that is focussed (previously focussed suggestion - 2nd row in our case) is selected.

We have a similar bug previously reported for FF - it was fixed. for your reference - ​http://bugs.jqueryui.com/ticket/9118.

Thanks, Swati.

Hi swathit,

Thanks for taking the time to contribute to the jQuery UI project. I'm having a little trouble following this as the test case from #9118 (​http://jsfiddle.net/EdCkY/) works as expected in IE8.

Could you tell me what demo you're seeing this on and give the steps you're taking to recreate this?

Thanks.

Hi, thanks for the quick response. I am seeing the issue on jquery AC demo page: ​http://jqueryui.com/autocomplete/#remote

steps:

On the demo page - these are steps I followed:

Typed j mouse-over to second suggestion - continued typing 'a' - now the word is 'ja' - selection still says on the second suggestion and when I click enter instead of 'ja' - the latest 2nd suggestion 'javascript' is submitted.

Seeing this on IE8 & IE10.

Thanks.

Interesting. I don't see this problem using the steps provided in #9118, but this is slightly different.

I do see the behavior on ​http://jqueryui.com/autocomplete/#default in all versions of IE. This isn't a regression as the same behavior occurs well back into 1.8.X.
