There's a "focus grabbing" effect I'm interested in. I can demonstrate using
the demo http://jquery.bassistance.de/autocomplete/demo/ :

1. I type "Ro" into Single Bird (remote), the suggestions appear.

2. But "Ro" is the value I want to enter into the field. So I want to move
focus to another form field. The standard ways to do that are to click on
the field I want to type in next or use (shift-)tab to get there.
    
3. If I click on the field I want to type in next. e.g. E-Mail (local), it
gets the focus for a moment and then the focus moves back to Single Bird
(remote). That's odd. Same problem with pressing tab or shift-tab. It seems
a field grabs its focus back if I don't use any of its suggestions.

I see the same in FF3 and Safari3. Is this focus grabbing the intended
behavior of Autocomplete?
