- Go to http://people.mozilla.org/~mwargers/tests/autocomplete_forms/textinput_form.html
- Tap on the input, type 'abc' and submit the form
- Tap on the input again
- Type 'a' -> form autocomplete popup appears with 'abc' in it
- Now type 'b'

Expected result:
- Aut0complete popup stays visible

Note that deleting the 'b' again, by pressing the del key, doesn't make the autocomplete popup appear again.

Martijn, can you still reproduce this? I can't.

Yes, I can still reproduce this.
The autocomplete popup briefly shows up, then disappears again.
This is tested on the EETransformer in landscape mode and portrait mode.
I noticed it isn't a problem on the Motorola Droid in portrait mode, but it in landscape mode.
It is also a problem on the LG Optimus Black in portrait and landscape mode.

I can also reproduce this if I rotate the phone while the autocomplete popup is open.

Although this summary is slightly different, I'm going to dupe this to bug 710835 because I suspect that the same problem root problem is causing the flickering issues.
