Hi Tibby, hi Kohei!

Just a (maybe) silly question ... below.

Hello Tibby,

First off, welcome to this project!  And I'm glad to see you taking on
fixing this one.  We have lots of silly UI issues like this, and it's
good to have more hackers joining in to fix them.

Same from my side :-)

Now, to me the best solution is to *not* show any auto completion value
in the text box itself, but to show a little popup box with possible
auto-completion options to choose from, while leaving the typed value in
the box intact.  But this would require a little more coding and could
potentially become more difficult to figure out.  So I think the above
solution would be good enough, and much better than what we have now.

Is it really helpful to use auto-completion in this box (in this special
case)? As far as I can understand, users enter values because they there
is no selection available in the drop-down box. Or is the hard part (the
coding you mentioned) disabling / removing auto-completion?

However, accessibility is kept, since both "Cursor Up/Down" and "Alt
+Cursor Down" work as expected to quickly select items.

Don't know whether this helped ...

Cheers,
Christoph
