GMail Auto-complete sometimes fails

I see gmail autocomplete sometimes failing, sometimes succeeding in Safari 3.  Sadly, I don't have much more information than that at present.

In what way is it failing? Missing suggestions, inability to choose a particular suggestion, or something else?

Sorry, I was vague.

You type"

ap@ (and it shows you the autocomplete dialog)
but if you try and click on any result, the dialog goes away and it does not complete.

ap@<tab> seems to work much of the time.  I'm not sure if these are two separate issues: when <tab> fails vs. when clicking fails.  IIRC, if clicking fails, tab will always fail.

Thanks - it's different than the radar mentioned in comment 1.

It would be great if you could test with a nightly. And I assume you are using the "new" Gmail, right?

Auto-complete no longer works on Yahoo Mail (I'm using OS X Leopard, plus 3rd party SAFT, which provides a work-around for the Auto-complete function).  This function last worked on build 30966.  Subsequent builds to the present do not work.

Adding to this thread since it relates to the Auto-Complete function:

Auto-complete no longer works on Yahoo Mail log-in (I'm using OS X Leopard, plus 3rd party SAFT, which provides a work-around for the Auto-complete function).  This function last worked correctly on build 30966.  Subsequent builds to the present fail to allow the auto-complete to function.  This may be something SAFT ultimately has to address, however, it seems coding changes in these new builds have somehow deactivated a 3rd party add-on from overriding a web sites block.  I suspect the same will be true for bank sites etc.

<rdar://5695606> is now fixed although it only focused on auto completing with <tab> or <enter>or other keyboard commands.  <rdar://problem/5683246> is now tracking this issue solely wrt mouse clicks.

Which revision was this?  searching trac did not find 5695606.  I doubt this was a Safari-only change, or?

Spoofing 3.1 as 2.0.4 showed that the mouse-click did complete the address.  I believe this is probably some old Safari-only code running on Google's side that just needs to be removed.
