Material-ui: [AutoComplete] "openOnFocus" is defective

[ErreMalote]

Problem description

the prop "openOnFocus" from the AutoComplete Component doesn't function as desired because the filter function doesn't take in consideration the prop.

filter: (searchText, key) => searchText !== '' && key.indexOf(searchText) !== -1,

so when the prop is true nothing really happens because the searchText == ""

Link to minimal working code that reproduces the issue

<AutoComplete openOnFocus hintText="Type anything" dataSource={ [ "exeption1","other Type", "another Type" ]} onUpdateInput={this.handleUpdateInput} />

Versions

Can't you just set filter={(searchText, key) => (key.indexOf(searchText) !== -1)} to get the functionality you're looking for?

[ErreMalote]

Yea that is what I did on my end. However, if someone downloads the library and tries the prop "openOnFocus" it will not work.

[jakepanitz]

So perhaps the solution would be to override the default filter with (searchText, key) => (key.indexOf(searchText) !== -1) if openOnFocus is true and no filter is provided.
