Incompatibility Between Chaos Tools Auto Submit and Autocomplete Fields!

This is caused by the auto submit binding to textfields on keypress events rather than change events. There are a couple ways we can fix this.

1. Write a patch for ctools which checks for the auto complete class on textfields and binds them with the change event, similar to how non-textfield form elements work. Looking at the auto-submit.js code in ctools it's going to be somewhat of a messy patch. I'm not sure it would get accepted, but we can always ping Earl and ask him about it before we go down that road.
2. Bind the ctools auto submit to specific form elements rather than using the ctools-auto-submit-full-form class. We can then write our own JS which binds to autocomplete element and submits the form on a change event.

The attached patch looks to resolve this for me. The jquery selectors are a bit funky, but I didn't see a better way to implement it. This should allow auto-submit functionality to work with autocomplete fields.

This is the same problem as reported here #1694988: Fix auto-submit for enhanced text text fields but with a different widget in the way.

This fix will work, sort of, but it's a poor band-aid for the real problem, which is that any text field that also has other javascript attached to it is going to have issues with the auto submit. I'm going to mark this one as a duplicate and crosspost.

The last patch failed to work on webkit browsers. Moving the event to a blur instead of a change works on webkit. Here's a new patch that should work for firefox / chrome / safar auto complete fields until the larger issue is resolved. IE has not been tested.

Re-roll against latest 7x-1.x-dev

definitely not a duplicate of #1694988: Fix auto-submit for enhanced text text fields.
the issue is still there for text with autocomplete filters.

i tested the last patch (#6) and it seems it does its job.
tested with autocomplete text filter for term reference fields and also for Views Autocomplete Filters.

So re-open for review.

I tested patch in #6 but am getting an error when using the autocomplete now:

An AJAX HTTP request terminated abnormally.
Debugging information follows.

#6 worked for me. Thanks beeradb.

#6 works for me as well.

Currently what happens is typing in the textbox triggers autosubmit, but clicking an option offered by the autocomplete list doesn't trigger it.

After appling the patch typing in the textbox doesn't trigger autosubmit, but clicking an option does.

This resolves one issue, but introduces several others, namely that it will only work with complete names/titles/whatever, partial completes (i.e. operator contains) no longer work, and also that removing any text in the textbox won't trigger the submit until the textbox loses focus. I think both of these are inconsistent with how a user or developer familiar with the Drupal ecosystem would reasonably expect it to work.

Removing the .filter() and using only the .blur() event resolves these.

Moving this to the v7.x-1.10 release plan.

Latest patch #6 works fine, thanks!

And a patch as per comments in #13.

This didn't get added to 7.x-1.10.

The 3 year old patch in #17 that addressed the issues presented in #13 applied cleanly to the latest ctools 7.x-1.x-dev, but still needs to be reviewed and tested.

Closing for triage but if this is an issue still, please LMK and we can un-close it and dig deeper.

Still an issue since I checked.

@MustangGB, thanks for checking! Are you doing the Panopoly Demo or some other way to reproduce?
