By selecting the right-most element (step #4) the textbox now has a value. We leave all the suggestions visible in case you want to pick a different one. We could force a re-calculation of the suggestions, which would only show the one you picked - sine it is the only one that matches.

When you go "Tap Next" and "Tap Previous" the suggestions are re-calculated and only the text in the textbox matches, so we only show that one, not all possible values. This should be like desktop FF.

Also, as you start typing into the textbox, we start removing suggestions - since less of them match.

I guess the issue is, should we re-calculate suggestions after you pick one?

This bug has nothing to do with panning, so I am changing the title.

Ah, I believe I got confused a bit with the functionality of  form autocomplete in this case. When I said I couldn't pan, its because the arrow is visible after the steps to reproduce (even though there's only one option to choose). As I remove the text, more autocomplete suggestions are shown, but the arrow is still visible (for no reason because the list of options is not longer than the viewable area). The arrow only becomes usable once I delete enough characters to show a pannable list of autocomplete suggestions.

Is this bug valid since the arrow is not a problem anymore? (has been fixed by into an other bug)
