Simply, Search Suggest suggestions are processed in the order API requests arrive, not in the order they're sent. So if you're on a lousy connection and type "wikipedia", 9 requests get sent (suggestions for "w", "wi", "wik", etc.), and they will not necessarily arrive in the same order. Then you get the effect described above - suggestions for "wikipedia" flash briefly and then are replaced by suggestions for "wik", even though the bolding is correct. The API has a requestid parameter, it should be used so we drop requests for suggestions older than the one currently displayed. A simple counter would suffice. (One should test it using a debugging proxy like Fiddler.) -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug.
