Steps to reproduce:

Use the included sample view on a content type. Go to the node/add form, and try to use the autocomplete author field. It notably fails to autocomplete.

But if you hit apply on the blank filter set, now autocomplete works!

There is no included sample view. Can you attach it please?

Hey David - I meant the sample view included with the module, entity_reference_browser_default .

In case it's relevant, I tested this on Chrome latest, OSX 10.6.8 .

I tested this and it works fine. The test was done on a term autocomplete field & the Authored By field.

Hm. I just tried again, and duplicated the broken behavior. I used it on an entityreference node field, the autocomplete is the built in one for author. I'm using the Same behavior across 3 themes, including Garland and Bartik. I've tried by selecting both the default and the block display that come with this view. I've tried in Chrome latest and Firefox 11.

finally, I did a fresh sqlite install with drush. I enabled only ctools, entity, views, views_ui, entityreference, devel, and devel_generate. I generated a bunch of nodes, and added an entityreference field with the browser to the Page content type, using the "Default" view. Still got the same problem on this most vanilla of installs.

I put this totally clean install in my public dropbox, so you can download it yourself and give it a try. http://dl.dropbox.com/u/6704615/ertest.tgz

Thoughts?

PS - ignore the attachment, it's the failed upload of the too-large quick install site.

I have just tested this case and can't reproduce the problem.

Using a vanilla 7.19 install with only the modules listed above, I created 3 fields on the default page content type: an entity reference field that uses entityreference_browser as the widget, a term reference field with the autocomplete widget and a second entity reference field with the autocomplete widget. Both of the autocomplete fields work, as well as the standard author field, without needing to click Apply on the entityreference_browser filters.
