New issue 5963 by choicesmade: Login forms: backspace does not trigger the  
autocompetion engine, like other keys would do.
http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=5963

Chrome Version       : Chromium build 7477 (bug has always been there)
URLs (if applicable) : NA
Other browsers tested: NA


What steps will reproduce the problem?
--------------------------------------

1. Have two accounts on a website, with a common prefix.
    For example, consider the gmail accounts "Foo" and "FooBar".

2. Go to the gmail.com, log-in, and let Chromium remember both  
accounts/passwords.

3. Whenever you go back to gmail.com, note that the login is pre-filled  
with the last username you used.

If "Foo" is the prefilled value, let's say you want to log-in  
with "FooBar". Adding the letter "B" will
automatically change the user to "FooBar" and set the corresponding  
password.

Now the other way around: "FooBar" is the prefilled value, and you want to  
log-in using "Foo". Press backspace
a few times until you're left with "Foo".


What is the expected result?
----------------------------

Chromium should realize "Foo" is another remembered user, and change the  
password accordingly.


What happens instead?
---------------------

Nothing happens, and the password box still contains the password  
for "FooBar".


Suggested fix
-------------

When we add letters in a username field, Chromium checks if this matches  
a "remembered" user, and uses auto-
completion. This sould also be the case when we hit the backspace or delete  
key.
