Summary0022227: Auto-Complete can result in bad data
DescriptionAuto-Complete completes values within the text box. This means the user needs to be review entered data to make sure auto-complete didn't change the value to the wrong value.

1) This is a common issue when entering new names that lack a last name. So when entering X, MediaMonkey will auto-complete with an existing X Y value. This is easy to miss.

2) Another scenario is when a multi-value field has pasted content in non-multi-value format (like , separated). When changing the separator, MediaMonkey auto-completes, which is unlikely to be the user intent.

3) When editing a multi-value field to prepend values before an existing value. When typing value; in front of an existing value the existing value gets highlighted. Thus if you type value1; value2; in front of value3, you end up with value1; value2; instead of value1; value2; value3

Solutions are:
A. Only show matches in Drop-Down, no auto-complete in textbox
B. Users have an option to enable/disable in textbox auto-complete
