383646 - Cannot put focus on drop down list while autocomplete list displayed

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 262123

(Toolkit :: Form Manager, defect)

Description

[u279076]

On Minefield (3.0a5, 3.0a6), if the autocomplete list for a text field is displayed, I cannot click on another drop down list on the page until do something else to make the autocomplete list disappear.

This behaviour occurs on both Mac and Linux, but not Windows XP/Vista and not on FF 2.0.

Steps to reproduce:
Using www.orbitz.com as the test site...
1. Type somethiing into the "From" field, I used "test"
2. Type something into the "To" field, I used "test"
3. Click on "find flights"
4. When the page loads, click back
5. Click on the "From" field again and press down to display the autocomplete list
6. While this list is being displayed, try to click on another drop down list on the page (one of the ones under the date selector for example)

Actual results:
The autocomplete list redisplays with focus still on the text field and the selected drop down list remains out of focus.

Expected results:
The autocomplete test should disengage and focus of control should move to the selected drop down list, displaying it's list of items.

Reproducible: always

I am not sure if this is how things are supposed to work now in 3.0, but it is not the behaviour seen on 2.0 on any platform or 3.0 on Windows.

One more thing to note, I tested this on litmus as well, producing the same results.
