When i enter something in a form i get some options which i entered earlier.
It's a really useful feature, but not usefull when the options i get, are just 1
character long. It's a bit enerving. It's not really a bug, but an improvement
of the features.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Use a form where you have to enter strings of just a length of 1 character. I
used phpMyAdmin (a mysql database administration program) and the 'problem'
occured when i entered the length of the field of the table.
2. Use it again

Actual Results:  
firefox also shows the option that are just 1 character long.

Expected Results:  
it should not show the options that are just 1 character in lenght
