Steps to reproduce:

Programmatically changed the value of a text field in response to a keypress, then pressed escape.


Actual results:

Pressing escape reverted the value.


Expected results:

Nothing.
This was originally filed as a bug against jQuery UI's autocomplete plugin: http://bugs.jqueryui.com/ticket/7752
Confirming on the testcase in the URL. The ESC only works (undoes the change) if the focus stays in the input field (Enter keeps the focus there). If clicking outside of the field (removing focus from it), the ESC has no effect. Esc also has no effect if javascript is disabled. So it is not used as a general UNDO mechanism, just to undo the automatic field value change.
