----------------------------------

Hi Lukáš,

sorry I am quite busy at the moment but it is really easy to reproduce. Just have a rich:autocomplete and an ajax button. The ajax button submits and rerenders the form. The action method on the a:commandButton tries to set the focus on the rich:autocomplete with the FocusManager - done. You probably have a 'test' autocomplete component flying around anyway.

> 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.
