            Description

            The web browsers auto-complete/auto-fill selection is interfering with input validation in an ice:inputText. The user will enter text, the browser will present a list of auto-complete options, they will then select an item using the keyboard and then press enter. The issue is that since the focus is still in the ice:inputText, the value is submitted. This is due to the ice:inputText using the enter key listener to fire the action event. The recommendation is to extend the ice:inputText component (new attribute) to prevent enter key submission for this scenario.
