Autocomplete dropdown closes on click outside of browser window

[mmoore99]

The Autocomplete dropdown closes on any mouse click outside of the autocomplete component, even on a click outside of browser window. Is this the expected behavior? Is there any way to keep the dropdown list open when clicking outside of the component?

I think that's expected behavior. I'm just using a listener on document click to close the dropdown, so I can't really control when the browser fires that event.

That would be very helpful have an attribute to turn this behavior off. Particularly during development, while working on styling the dropdown list...

a workaround:

const autocomplete = new Autocomplete('#autocomplete', options);
autocomplete.core.hideResults = function() {};
