Summary: Search box autocomplete cannot keep up with typing,
changes the search string
Product: MediaWiki extensions
Version: any
Platform: All
OS/Version: All
Status: NEW
Severity: critical
Priority: Normal
Component: UsabilityInitiative

On Wikipedia right now (1.16wmf4 r66325), the search box's autocomplete feature
cannot keep up with fast typing. It produces incorrect searches by searching
for the wrong string. This happens ONLY when using the Vector skin with the new
usability initiative features.
For example, I type quickly in the search box:
Special:Version
When I hit ENTER, the search box changes its content from "Special:Version" to
"Special:Versi". My search ends up searching for "Special:Versi" which doesn't
exist.
Confirmed in Firefox 3.6.3 and Internet Explorer 8.0.7600.16385 on Windows 2008
Server.
IMPORTANT NOTE: This happens only the FIRST TIME for a given string. If I type
"Special:Version" a second time and hit Enter very quickly, the search box
behavior is correct. To reproduce this bug, you may have to type a different
search string each time, or try a variety of search strings.
