Version: (using KDE KDE 3.1) Installed from: SuSE RPMs If you have dropdown autocompletion selected, you can use the up and down arrow keys to choose an autocompletion in a form. However, once you have hit down once, you can't hit "up" to get back to your original, uncompleted form field. Instead you have to delete your completion manually. I suggest that this is a bug because * it's unintuitive: if you "go down" to get to something, I think people expect that "going up" will get you back to where you were. * it makes it awkward to change your mind about an autocompletion. Tested on 3.1, will test on CVS. Best wishes, Dave

I guess this is a personal preference or a behavior present in other browsers ? Regards, Dawit A.
OK, but I've been using konqueror since 2.0 and never discovered this behaviour (and even now you've told me, I'll probably forget it). So I would still stand on the "unintuitive" point. Yes, it's a personal preference. But I don't know what other browsers do.
