Or is the hard part (the > coding you mentioned) disabling / removing auto-completion? Actually, you raise a very interesting point. Why do we even have auto completion here? :-) And yes, I agree the best solution in this case may be to remove this auto completion altogether. Since we already have a drop-down list to show us what the candidates are, doing auto-completion may be just redundant (and causes trouble obviously). > Don't know whether this helped ... It did. The idea of removing auto completion would never have occurred to me otherwise. ;-) Tibby, what do you think? Does this sound reasonable?
