[Jiří Štefek (JIRA)]

    [ https://issues.jboss.org/browse/RF-11453?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12993869#comment-12993869 ] 

Jiří Štefek commented on RF-11453:
----------------------------------

Good job, now it works also on Firefox.

I have looked at the newly introduced attributes: {{mode}}, {{minChars}} (not mentioning those already used in sample) and found that:
* {{minChars}} works only with *ajax {{mode}}, is it correct ?
* using {{autocompleteList}} with {{clientFilterFunction}} doesn't work when used with *ajax {{mode}}. Is it correct?
* there should be a note in javadocs about {{mode}} and {{minChars}} which works only in 'autocomplete mode'

You can now use Metamer Application to verify this (only on branch RF-11453 now).

I have discovered another issue with {{minChars}} which can be reproduced in Metamer:
# deploy metamer and open http://localhost:8080/metamer/faces/components/richSelect/autocompleteMethod.xhtml
# set {{minChars}} to 2
# type {{al}} in the select, two suggestions will appear (Alaska, Alabama)
# delete last character // >>> "a"
# type {{q}} // >>> "aq"  ; this will produce no suggestions
# delete last character // >>> "a"
# type {{l}} again // >>> "al"
** expected: two suggestions will appear (Alaska, Alabama)
** have: no suggestion will appear and the select is broken, no value can be selected thereafter, even if you delete the input

[~michpetrov] or [~bleathem] could you look at this?
