Autocomplete: Completion pops up twice on android+firefox

[cerebralfornication]

1. what I did: in firefox 105.1 on android 11, went to https://jqueryui.com/autocomplete/ , typed f in the text field, clicked "Fortran" in the completion list
2. what I expected: Fortran completed in the text field, autocompleter gone
3. what happened instead: Fortran in the text field but autocompler pops up again with "Fortran" as the only choice

works fine on desktop or on android+chrome.

Thanks for the report. Does the issue you describe exist when jQuery UI 1.12.1 is used or only with jQuery UI 1.13.0 or newer?

[cerebralfornication]

Yes, the problem also exists in 1.12.1, which is the version we use. The example url above uses 1.13.0 and shows it, too.

Thanks for the info. Since the issue is already in 1.12, given limited team resources it's not likely to be fixed by the UI team; see the project status at https://blog.jqueryui.com/2021/10/jquery-maintainers-update-and-transition-jquery-ui-as-part-of-overall-modernization-efforts/. PRs are welcome if they're not too complex.
