auto-completion and cursor inconvenience #546

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 8 years ago

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. preview of a custom search engine set-up with auto-completion
2. give the focus to the search input by clicking on it, and then place the 
cursor below the search bar, where the suggestion box will be displayed.
3. start typing your search. when the suggestion box is displayed, the mouse 
over event is caught by one of the suggestions, which populate the search 
input. So you start typing, the event will fill the field with one of the 
suggestions, and you continue typing because you did not expect this. The 
result is messy :-)

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
The expected output is that the fact that the mouse is sitting there should not 
populate the input field. On google.com, this does not happen because the 
mouseover event will not change the input value. A click is required for this. 
I think it is a best way to do it. Why not doing the same thing with the custom 
search ?

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
Using the current version of the google search API. I tested this with the 
latest version of Firefox.

Please provide any additional information below.
