[T5.4] autocomplete mixin issues

[Ilya Obshadko <il...@gmail.com>]

Just started to migrate my autocomplete-based controls to 5.4.

Several issues I've discovered immediately:

- list presentation it is no longer configurable, like it was in 5.3.x
version
- the mixin itself heavily modifies markup (in fact it breaks form styling
completely)

I guess the best option is to create my own typeahead.js-based mixin
instead of default one?
(That's not very difficult anyway)

Any other suggestions?

I'm using jQuery. If fact I have already completed a replacement component
which does exactly what's needed.

I have a kind of specific case which cannot be covered by a mixin. But I
would like to point out that there are several issues with Typeahead &
Bootstrap CSS compatibility. You might want to check
https://github.com/twitter/typeahead.js/issues/378 and related fiddle
http://jsfiddle.net/kuroe/qrtua/14/

I have used CSS from the latter and it (almost) fixes my problem. There's
still an issue with Bootstrap input add-on which receives incorrect size
after Typeahead initialization, but that's not a critical issue for me
right now.

BTW, it might be a good idea to use Typeahead bundled with Bloodhound
engine (like Twitter guys recommend). It gives a lot of flexibility.

Are you using the jQuery or Prototype infrastructure in your 5.4 projects?  
If Prototype, I'd just copy the 5.3.x Autocomplete and use it.
