Rocket.chat: Keyboard autocomplete for @mention affected by mouse position

[seanf]

Description:

Server Setup Information:

• Version of Rocket.Chat Server: 0.63.1

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Position the mouse a few lines about the "Message" text input form.
2. Type @ to trigger autocomplete for @mention. (Optional: type a few letters of the username.)
3. Hit Enter to choose the best match

Expected behavior:

The best match (the first in the list) is selected when Enter is pressed.

Actual behavior:

The option which happens to be under the mouse is selected when Enter is pressed, even if the mouse hasn't been moved, even though the keyboard is being used. This is especially annoying when you've typed the first few letters of a username, but a different user (with those same letters somewhere in the name) is selected.

Hi @seanf

Mhhh... I can reproduce your issue on 0.63.3 but I'm not quite sure how to solve it. The folks around @karlprieb probably have an idea. I made this screen capture to illustrate the issue.

Cheers

Thank you @seanf for your report 😄 👍
We will take a look on that, but we don't plan to fix that in the next 2 releases.
