First entry is automatically selected

[xenon20]

First let me say thanks for this great addon.
Just updated to the latest version 1.15 and now the first entry is automatically selected when entering some chars. So when I press return, the first item is used and I cannot search for "wat", if the first item is "watch".

Latest version is actually 1.2. You can press escape to kill suggestions. Would it make sense to add configuration option if you don't need first item to be selected by default?

Sorry, I meant version 1.2. In older versions, autocomplete didn't behave like this. Sometimes people don't even look in the list. If someone wants to search for all shops that offer watches, they cannot enter "watches" and press enter, when the first item is "watches eshop", the second maybe "watches store" and so on. they always get to "watches eshop". Maybe I explained it too detailed, I think you already understood what I meant before...so an option for this would be great ;)

I would also really like to see a configuration option to prevent the first item from being selected by default. The current behaviour makes it pretty difficult to not select an item from the suggested list.

Will add it soon. The fact that it selects item when you click outside the box and it selects the entry is filed as a bug.

This has been fixed in the following commit: 56437a2

Also default value is false, so it will not select first item by default.

Will you be doing a release soon that includes this fix, or should I just replace my version of jquery.autocomplete.js with the current version in the master branch. Thanks for resolving this so quickly.
