Is it possible to use the keyboard only to select previously entered data such as the email field ? For example entering 'a' in the email field will display all previous emails starting with 'a'. It appears this can only be selected with a mouse, anyone know how to select the suggestions displayed from the keyboard ?
Using 1.6RC in production and almost complete with testing v1.6.0

Well, It's working on Mozilla Firefox (3.6.2) on Windows Vista and Windows 7, so I guess it's a Internet Explorer bug...
Why are you using IE anyway? :D

IE it's the best by far (that's a joke no flames please)
Hmmm, I've tried on firefox 3.6.2 and get the same results.
Let me clarify, I type a letter or letters in the email field and a popup/dropdown list appears of previously entered data. When I try the down key it does not select (move) down the list. The only way I can select the suggestion is via the mouse. The up down keys work fine in the free form text such as 'Issue summary' (bith IE and firefox) so I know it not a hardware issue or browser specific

Weird, I don't get this error at all :/
And no, I won't flame just because someone doesn't agree with my opinion :P

You're talking about the live search results in the new ticket email field, yes?
What the live search script is creating is just a list of addresses in a div that's overlayed onto the form/attached to the text input field, so keyboard navigation through it isn't currently an option. Seems like it could be added, though. I can see where that would be quite useful. I'll look into it when I get a chance (which, honestly, at this point, may be a while).
