    I will disable it. But please fix the bug. I think I figured out the mistake I made. Sometiimes I forget to click on the web page background and when I scroll using the arrow keys, the auto complete box appears but it won't go away. not even if I click a link on the page. It will go away if I click the links on the auto complete box. Perhaps a minor but still very annoying issue.


    The history popup is programmed to show if down is pressed when URL string is active.
    Anyway, you can just close it again with the related gadget on the right (or ESC, assuming you didn't configure ESC to quit MUI apps).




    I think the bug in question is in whatever MUI class is used for autocomplete.
    When the autocomplete box appears, the only way to dispose of it is to select an item from the list, or to press return to use manually entered text instead.
    If return is not pressed (or an item selected), and the user decides to carry on browsing on the current page, or go to history menu, or whatever - the autocomplete box remains (it can actually end up hidden behind Odyssey's window if a double-click is used).
    Intuitive behaviour would be for the autocomplete box to disappear when cursor/focus moves away from the related text gadget (search box, etc).

    One (unrelated) minor annoyance I have is that menus & context menus seem to pause the rendering and network processes - media/page rendering stops (although playback continues if cached, just rendered video isn't updated) and downloading pauses completely until the menu is released.
