See upcoming testcase.
Open the link in that testcase in a new tab. Visit that new tab.
Open the autocomplet drop down menu by double clicking on the input textbox.
Result:
After every 1 second, the selected item of the autocomplete drop down gets moved
one item below. This should not happen.
Also, when typing a letter, the text of the autocomplete drop down gets copied
into the input every second.

This also happens in the 1.0 aviary branch.

This is the script that seems to cause this, by the way:
var x=document.getElementsByTagName('body')[0];
var me = document.createEvent("MouseEvents");
me.initMouseEvent('click',1,1,window,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,x);
x.dispatchEvent(me);

We want to fix all these issues, but to do that we need to sentralize some
checking for trusted events, and that requires making some more events trusted
etc, and that means a big patch, something we don't want for 1.0 any more. And
since we don't see this as a security problem, it won't make it into 1.0...
