The plugin by default prevents this. If the user edits the textfield the ID is untouched, and the string is restored at onblur to the last selected completion. Hopefully the user sees the rollback and notices his edition had no effect. I am not particularly satisfied with this behaviour, but it was the best solution I could think of, because the textfield needs to be editable so that the user can enter text to be completed. On the other hand, if :allow_free_text is true then editions are allowed and monitored, if there's free text the ID becomes the empty string.
