Search fields with autocomplete unable to trigger form rescan on option select/focus

[mvl22]

If a layer has an input form of type=search, and jQuery UI Autocomplete behaviour attached, if the down key is used to select/focus a suggestion (resulting in the suggestion appearing in the box), a form scan event does not occur.

The form scan looks (as of 28cf184) for:

form#data #sections input[type="search"]').on ('input', function() {

which suggests that the autocomplete select/focus does not trigger the input event.

So far it has not been possible to find a way to force this to be triggered. References tried are:

Not sure what to suggest here - any work-around?

Doesn't affect CyIPT, only Bikedata.

This is a low-priority bug.

Ah cheers for the clarification - would explain why I didn't understand the impact: there is none!
