(Whiteboard: 1 day, 4/28) 

in the autocomplete XBL widget, when the user start typing, we show a popupmenu 
under the text field. We need to let all key events to be passed to the text 
field except for the specific one the menu need (key up, key down, maybe 
escape).

another solution would be that the textfield takes care of all the key events 
even the one needed by the menu and let the textfield change the menu selection 
when the user press key down/up.

You can now say ignorekeys="true" on the popup parent (same place you have 
popup="")
