What steps will reproduce the problem? 1. Open a new review request. 2. Edit the "Groups" or "People" fields. 3. Type a name really fast. What is the expected output? What do you see instead? I expect to see the name I typed. However, since reviewboard tries to autocomplete the output in the text field as I'm typing it, it instead ends up a jumbled mass of characters, or a bunch of the characters I typed get swallowed. I'm not making typos. Typing "wui" really quickly ends up filling the text field with some other w-entry. This is kind of annoying. I'd rather reviewboard require people to press Tab to autocomplete on demand. What operating system are you using? What browser? Windows XP SP2 with Firefox 2.0.0.8.
This is probably some bug in the toolkit we're using. I'll try to figure out the cause, disable the automatic auto-complete, and get it fixed up.

Yeah, I agree that this is pretty annoying. I keep running into it trying to enter people's names.
I hate to dogpile, but this is griefing me a bunch as well. Keystrokes are being eaten, hitting <tab> sometimes makes the cursor disappear, and so on... I've also seen a problem with someone accidentally picking the wrong name, "eva" vs. "evan".
These issues will be addressed if we can in fact override the auto-completion behavior from the toolkit we're using. It won't be addressed until next week at the earliest, though.
