Georg Nozicka commented on RF-10953:
------------------------------------

I would like to extend this issue a little bit because I think it is related to it. In former Richfaces versions the autocompleteMethod was also called, if e.g. cursor down was pressed (with minChars=”0” and no characters entered so far). This was quite handy, especially if you have not too many possible results and someone has no idea what could be entered. As it is now, a workaround is to enter a space and trim the input in the program logic, but just pressing cursor down is far more user friendly. Another user solution is to try all the letters from ‘a’ to ‘z’ but this is not such a good way to figure the possible values out.

> We have upgraded to 4.0.0.Final and there is a change in behaviour for the rich:autocomplete component. We set minChars="0" and showButton="true". If we click on the button without entering any keys the autocompleteMethod is no longer called as it was previously. This must be a bug since it works fine if minChars>0 the autocompleteMetod is called.
