1212364 - Assignee AJAX is not suitably debounced

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

Description

[github]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; rv:41.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/41.0
Build ID: 20150929144111

Steps to reproduce:

1. Opened or started a new bug.
2. Focussed on the assignee field.
3. Typed a name as quick as I could.



Actual results:

Multiple requests were sent to the server and with our low powered VM this resulted in multiple executions of the jsonp handler that slowed down the response.


Expected results:

Use timeout to prevent the request firing for a short period of time, cancel the timeouts each time the event handler is called.  Only make the JSON request if the timeout fires, and therefore only one request.

This is done already. In 5.0 and before, the delay is 0.05s: userAutoComp.queryDelay = 0.05.
Since 5.1, the delay is 0.25s: deferRequestBy: 250.
