Autocomplete and RF4.0.0.Final

[palbergan]

We have upgraded to 4.0.0.Final and there is a change in behaviour for the rich:autocomplete component. We set minChars="0" and showButton="true". If we click on the button without entering any keys the autocompleteMethod is no longer called as it was previously. Is this a bug or is it by design that we should now use the autocompleteList when this functionality is wanted? Seems not good to use the 'list' method when we have some tens or hundreds of records!

please create jira issue for that.

I'm just implementing RichFaces 4 and ran into this issue while converting our web applications.  Is there no workaround for this?  As small an item as this may seem, it is a major missing piece of UI behavior.  The user needs to know to enter a space to see the full list?  There may be two items or 100 items in the full list but you want the user to either enter a space or try letters a-z?  Am I missing something?
