onSelect triggers when clicking the input field

[BramVanroy]

It's strange behaviour that when a user selects the input field when a value has been selected already, the onSelect event triggers. In other words:

1. Type in field
2. Select suggestion
3. Click outside field
4. Click inside field
5. onSelect is triggered -- even though nothing has changed. The input field merely got focus.

Adding input.off("focus") solves the issue, but I think it should be default behaviour.

I can confirm. Workaround worked for us. Thanks

I can't get this solution working. Where i should call this input.off("focus") ? I've tried inside the onSelect callback, but input is not defined. If I try to define it with document.getElementById, it does nothing. Any suggestion?

I think you should use it like this: onSelect: function(suggestion) { $(this).off("focus"); },

Didn't notice any side-effects for workaround so far. Can anyone think of anything probably going wrong?

Set triggerSelectOnValidInput to false on the autocomplete options?
