[Possible Bug] Open p:autoComplete dropdown doesn't close on button click

[lastresort]

I'm not sure if it is a bug, so I want to clearify that in the forum first.

Behaviour:

1. Open the p:autoComplete dropdown either by typing or clicking on the button.
2. Click on the dropdown button.
3. Dropdown closes but directly reopens.


For me the expected behaviour would be the same as for the p:selectOneMenu:

1. Open the p:autoComplete dropdown either by typing or clicking on the button.
2. Click on the dropdown button.
3. Dropdown closes

You can easily reproduce it in the showcase: http://www.primefaces.org:8080/showcase ... lete.xhtml
And see what I expect in the showcase too: http://www.primefaces.org:8080/showcase ... Menu.xhtml

Tested with PrimeFaces Elite 6.2.12 on Thorntail 2.0.2

I tend to agree with you the behavior should be consistent.

...and there is one more thing to consider when I typed "a" in showcase and clicked again on dropdown button, instead of "a0, a1, ..." it shown "0, 1, ..."

All this should consider also "forceSelection" option.

That's configurable.

dropdownMode: "Specifies the behavior dropdown button. Default "blank" mode sends an empty string and "current" mode sends the input value."

Oh thanks! So far I didn't check all options, but this one might solve some of my problems

I tested: Let say I have regions ("Europe", "Americas", ...) .. when I type "eu" in (options are filtered to "Europe") and click on button the value is not used (very likely because it was not submitted), it is removed instead. I'm afraid this is more complex problem, when POJOs (with converter and so on) are used... I tried immediate option, but while "eu" is not valid POJO it failed with:

Code: Select all

javax.faces.FacesException: java.lang.NumberFormatException: For input string: "eu"
