Autocomplete: Search triggered on initialization if input contains an umlaute

[Mil]

Hi

I have a very odd issue with autocomplete, IE10 and jquery-ui version 1.10.4 (also occures in version 1.9.0).

If I add a value with umlaut (ö, ä, ü) as initial value in the input with autocomplete, autocomplete gets triggered while loading the document.

Please look here ​http://jsfiddle.net/MilKAOS/NRGxw/1/ and play run.

I could only see that behaviour in IE10 (10.0.9200.16466), older versions and compatibility mode seem to be fine. Maybe there is a localization option I miss?

Thanks in advance Mil

I'm not sure if we'll be able to do anything about this. IE is triggering an input event.

I've reported this to Microsoft to see if they have any suggestions to work around this. Here's a reduced test case without jQuery: ​http://dev-test.nemikor.com/bugs/ie/input-event-on-load.html

I did too. Shortly after you stated that this is a browser issue. Last message was, that they will look into it. ​https://connect.microsoft.com/IE/feedback/details/816915/ie10-triggers-input-event-on-initialization-if-input-contains-an-umlaut

Hi,

I was faced the same bug and found a workaround here that seems to work :

​http://stackoverflow.com/questions/22349375/jquery-ui-autocomplete-automatically-fire-ie

 		input: function( event ) {
-				if ( suppressInput ) {
+				if ( suppressInput || typeof suppressInput === 'undefined' ) {
 				suppressInput = false;
 				event.preventDefault();
 				return;
 			}
 			this._searchTimeout( event );
 		},

Has this been proposed / discussed already ? Is it a good idea ?

thanks, nico

Hi all

Good news everyone. Microsoft took my bug yesterday from Connect to their platform for IE Edge issues/feature requests and set the status for the bug to Fixed.

See here: ​https://developer.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-edge/platform/issues/109149/

This doesn't seem to affect Edge and we don't have a fix for IE, so I'm going to close.
