I am still having issues with this. I am using 1.4-m2 with your newest additions. It is much better but it really only half way gives the user what he is asking for. He wants to list to show up on an empty input. The way you have it implemented is the user has to click on the textfield and then press the down key to get the entire list to show up on an empty input. While this sort of fixes the issue I think it would be more useful if you simply had the list show up when the textfield loads instead of having to click on the textfield and press the down arrow. This will knock down a lot of user confusion. Is there a way to simply always show the div that holds the list of values? I may be confused here but I have not found a way to fix this issue on my own.
