I love it. But in the spirit of QA here is a reproduction.

Try very slowly typing the word, pretty, in the textbox box. If you are like me it turns into the word, president, on the Chrome browser on Mac.

If I type quickly enough it usually works perfectly.

My guess is that you are using the speed of the typing to decide if I want to accept an autocomplete.

My proposed solution: I'd use the right arrow character to accept the autocomplete and advancing to the end of the word, rather than speed change. The problem with using the space char is that then we'd never be able to type the word pre.

Great job! I think it's almost perfect and pretty :)




Thank You! Will definitely look into your suggested solution.
