Hi Lukáš,

If you have a autocomplete component with the id="autocomplete" the actual generated code does not have an input field with the id="autocomplete". It has some subIds. The preserve focus might work but if you want to assign the focus with the focusManager it does not work. I have tried using focusManager.focus("autocomplete") (does not work) and focusManager.focus("autocomplete_input") (or similar can't remember the subID the actual input field has) but this doesn't work either.

> Currently the FocusManager in Richfaces only works on 'simple' UI components like h:inputText or h:selectOneMenu but not on more complex components like rich:autocomplete.
> It would be good if FocusManager could support complex components or 'real' Ids as generated for that page.
> The use case for the support on autocomplete is like this:
> User has to enter multiple 'entities'. A rich:autocomplete is used to select the entity and add it to a list. After each ajax submit the focus gets lost and the user has to manually set the focus back to the autocomplete input field.
