Autocomplete: Input value should not be set in MultiLine when ESCAPE is pressed

[Yermo2]

This bug is similar to ​http://bugs.jqueryui.com/ticket/9771 in that the value of a multiline input (contenteditable or textarea) is changed when ESCAPE is pressed to close the menu.

See this fiddle ​http://jsfiddle.net/2256A/. Press ESCAPE after the menu is opened. Notice that the cursor position is moved to the beginning of the contenteditable.

The correct behavior should be that the content is not changed.

The change I suggest is in the ESCAPE handler in ui/autocomplete.js line 134 change to:

if ( ! this.isMultiLine ) {
   this._value( this.term );
   }

I have a patch and unit test that I will submit shortly.
