(Whiteboard: [specification][type:bug])

What did you do? ================ 1. In the Revision Dashboard, type the a user name into the User field. What happened? ============== My typing is erased, and a drop-down list containing a list of names that match what I typed appears below the text field. I have to click in this list in order to select the name. I have not discovered a way to select in the list using the keyboard; I must use the mouse. If the name I typed matched a unique existing user, the drop-down list contains a single item. This is especially annoying because I have to click to select the item I just typed. Because my typing is erased when the drop-down list appears, if I pause in the middle of typing a username, the UI takes the second part of the name as a new name, which means I have to start over from the beginning. What should have happened? ========================== If my entry matches a unique existing user, it should just be accepted, with no list interaction required. In cases where the text typed does not match a unique user, the list should be keyboard accessible. The text that the user types into the field should not be replaced until a selection is made from the list, so that separate sequences of typing are taken as one entry, unless the user shifts focus out of the field. Is there anything else we should know? ====================================== Did I mention this is annoying? Yeah, annoying as heck.
