jQuery UI autocomplete bug: autocomplete suggestions disappear when returning from another browser tab
I run an application with a working jQuery UI autocomplete form in a first tab. I do know how to use the autocomplete function. I also do know how to use $("myinput").autocomplete( "search", currentInput ); to manually trigger the list of suggestions to be shown.
Scenario - how to replicate the bug
=========================
An input "jav" is - for example - extended by two suggestions in the list of suggestions below the input like "java" and "javascript".
In my Firefox browser, I now change to a second tab with a different web address.
Autocomplete bug
=============
When I return to the first browser tab, the input "jav" is still present, but the list of suggestions has disappeared, there is no output any more.
For me, this is a severe bug in autocomplete. Why should the autocomplete output disappear only because the user switches back to this browser tab?
I have written autocomplete javascripts since a long time ago, but jquery-ui autocomplete appears to behave differently. Please fix this bug.
