Description:
------------
In Opera 7.23, the cursor does not move to the end of the text when auto-completion is used. Instead, the cursor stays at its current position and the auto-completed text appears after it. This makes it troublesome to add text after the auto-completed part, as the user will have to manually move the cursor to the end of the text field. This bug occurs with both the drop-down list and the space bar methods.

Expected result:
----------------
e.g.
"aspell_[CURSOR]"
(This is the behaviour of Mozilla 1.6 and Internet Explorer 6.0 SP1)

Actual result:
--------------
"asp[CURSOR]ell_"
(This is |wrong|. :P)

If there is a way to position the cursor in the input field, please provide us some info. Otherwise we will not be able to fix this.

I think this is a browser bug. I've not found a way to "fix" this behavior with JS.

By the way:
Goba, would you agree that this comment is a bit "odd"?:

Since this is a browser bug, we will not be able to fix it... Other browsers behave better here :) That comment might look odd, I have not digged into why that number needs to be even, this code was written by several people...
