Just created a test app with trunk from this morning. I see that the
arrow keys now work appropriately but I'm not sure how to select an item
when I have it in the list.
Thoughts?

Hi
Are many people using the autocomplete widget out there?
I'm having some inconvenient behavior with it. First off, I think it
would be great if it would do a .contains instead of a .like when it
filters the data being returned. Second, when using the control I'm
seeing the following:
1. Type in a couple characters and a dropdown list appears
2. I would like to use the arrow key to navigate up and down through
the list. This doesn't work. I have to tab to the list before arrow
keys work.
3. I would like to select my desired option using the space bar,
enter key or single-clicking with the mouse. None of these work.
4. There seems to be a select delay or timeout where whatever list
item is currently highlighted is selected and the list goes away
without me doing anything. I'm still thinking about which one I want
to select and the list disappears and the currently highlighted
selection is chosen (regardless of whether or not I'm actively
scrolling through the list). I'd prefer to have to do something to
make it select something.
Is it possible I'm using some old CSS or web2py_ajax.html file? I
don't recall what version I was on when my app was initially created.
