Autocomplete: Open Event -- empty UI param

Autocomplete: Open Event -- empty UI param

Howdy Folks,

I am working with the autocomplete ui component, and am having an issue with the open event. Specifically, the open event is passing an empty UI object.

My question: How can i get the UI object to be populated with the actual UI object of my widget and not be blank? I want to be able to reference my widget instance from the open event.

open: function (event, ui) {
  console.log(arguments) //-> [ {event object}, {empt object that I think should be the UI object}
}


Thanks in advance!
