Description
I don't know if it's a feature than typing a dot gives the whole list on autocompletion fields,
BUT typing a space as first character gives 403, which doesn't seems to be right
I think a space might work the same as a dot, bringing a feature instead of a 403 which isn't accurate since the user has all permissions (user 1 for instance)

#1
BTW, this is not an introduced bug, it's present since D6.3 (at least as I recall)
(didn't report it before since there were some other issues with respect autocompletion and 403)
#2
I can't duplicate this behavior on 6.x or 7.x. I used a space on a profile autocomplete and a user autocomplete and they worked without an error. :/
#3
still there
- fresh Drupal 6.6 (with dhtml_menu added to the default profile so I can start having nice navigation)
- keep logged as uid 1
- new vocabulary: "temp" (only for Story type, tag, no-multiple, required)
- new terms: "term1" & "term2"
- attempt to create a new story
- press a space in the autocompletion field
- see the screenshot (BTW: same in FF and IE)

Can't reproduce either.

What am I missing?
I've done the same thousand times and always get 403?
The only not-vanilla thing I always do is to include the dhtml_menu module in the list of modules to install in the default profile.
I'll try other use cases an I'll list them here step by step.. better... a screencast
#6
Have you tried disabling DHTML Menu?
#7
yeap, same effect
please advice about a quick way to share a screencast
it's about 3 and a half minutes but takes 10MB

Was there any resolution on this issue? I am facing the same problem. I have an exposed autocomplete taxonomy filter from a view and whenever I type a space in the textfield I get a 403 error. I'm on Drupal 6.10 running on localhost on a Windows XP box running apache2 and php 5.2.5. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks.

After some further testing this seems to be a windows localhost issue. When I run the same code on a linux server I no longer get the 403 error when entering a space in the autocomplete field.
