Autocomplete sticks on "GNU/Linux"
the auto-complete of a comma separated list of items only shows "GNU/Linux" once that is in the list (e.g. the Subject Keywords field of the Teaching Profile with "computers, GNU/Linux, programmi" should auto-complete for "programming", but instead says "GNU/Linux).
This is using Firefox 3.0.1 under Ubuntu 8.04 with no expectedly relevant plugins.

Inappropriate?The field doesn't autocomplete for every item in a comma-separated list - it only recognises the first one.
To add more subject keywords, input one keyword or phrase and then click 'Submit', then repeat for further keywords.
So for example, you would input 'GNU/Linux', and click Submit; then 'Programming' and click Submit; and then any other subject keywords following the same process. -
Inappropriate?I'm just saying, you're misleading users. Either don't offer comma separated entry, don't autocomplete for it, or autocomplete on the most recent thing they typed as if it were an item unto itself. It is autocompleting to "GNU/Linux", which isn't useful to anyone.
I’m understanding of developer resistance
-
Inappropriate?OK, so just to be clear: did the autocomplete do this a) when you first created your teaching profile and filled in the keywords, or b) when you went to add subsequent keywords using the field on the published teaching profile?
In my response above I was referring to b) - but if you're referring to a) please let me know.
I’m just trying to get this clear
-
Inappropriate?Yes, it was during the initial creation of a teaching profile, case a).
I’m happy that schoolofeverything exists

Inappropriate?OK, it's not supposed to do that! The tech team is aware of it and we'll try and figure out what's going on. Thanks for letting us know,

I’m confident we'll fix this, thanks for the report
