(posted from wrong list email - reposting) The issue is the lastValue value being updated ahead of when it should on every second keystroke. The iautocompleter code seems over complicated! I was able to replicate the issue with just iautocompleter.js (obviously no remote requests happening but I could see the lastValue being updated incorrectly on alternate keystrokes in the debugger) so it's not just the replacement update() function.
I have a hack - not a real fix - which requires changing iautocompleter.js and jifty_interface.js. It also has a slight improvement to remove the time where there used to be no drop down between a keystroke and receiving the ajax request (I moved the call to clear() into the success handler). I'll email the diffs when I get home for posterity but I'll also plan to move to trunk and then I can fork the github project and apply the patch there. Cheers, Mark.
