When I attempt to set a default value for an autocomplete text field, the default setting is not saved or used. Default settings still work fine on my non-autocomplete text fields. The autocomplete widgets are super-useful, but I need to set default values for some of these fields, so I hope this can be fixed. Thank you for your time!

Could you please try the following change to function autocomplete_widgets_validate() in autocomplete_widgets.module:

-  $value = trim($form_state['values'][$field_name][$delta][$field_key]);
+  $value = trim($element['#value']);

This change could potentially affect the fields in the node edit form as well. I haven't had the time to test this much, so this needs as much testing as possible with text and number fields.

Won't fix without further feedback.

I've been testing the fix in #1 for a while and it seems to cause no harm. Committed to CVS.
