If the user puts in "123", and AutoComplete offers "123A" or "123B" as options, there is no way for the user to, using the keyboard, leave the text field and have the value remain as "123". Maybe this is the way Autocomplete is supposed to work, but it's not the way I want it to work. I'd like the user to have the option to use his input or select an item from the Autocomplete list.
A workaround is to add an item at the top of the cursor that mirrors the user input--but it's a bit clunky.
Is there some way that the user can enter a value in the text field that is not on the Autocomplete list, once that list has popped up? The ideal would be a property that would allow the text box to be a non-selected value.
