Making a selection adds a space to the string. about meteor-autocomplete HOT 8 CLOSED

This has to do with #4 and related issues, including #27. I'll try to change the behavior for single-field autocompletion when I get a chance.

Ahh yes, I see how that's connected now, and that this library wasn't set up to search a single collection. You can close this issue if you like. Appreciate it.

I'd also take a PR for anyone who wants to revamp how a single collection autocomplete is handled :D

I'd like to, though regex isn't really my strong point. I'm a front end engineer, thus why I am looking for something that autocompletes from the DB. :)

@Lucaska this library is all front end :)

It's still regexp working on database entries stuff. :)

I thought my specific issue seemed to be in this function:
https://github.com/mizzao/meteor-autocomplete/blob/master/autocomplete-client.coffee#L217

@$element.setCursorPosition val.length + 1

I removed the + 1 and it doesn't show up as a having a space, but when you move off the text input, its there when you go back.

For now I just iterated a Select item template over the volunteerName entry. Not nearly as elegant a solution as this, but it is a side project.

I don't think that line actually inserts the space; the replace inserts the space and that line just goes there. This is the line that inserts the space: https://github.com/mizzao/meteor-autocomplete/blob/master/autocomplete-client.coffee#L223

I don't understand what your last sentence said. So you created a dropdown list instead of using autocomplete?

0.4.0 overhauls the behavior of what you're trying to do. Give it a try and see if it works for you.
