rich:autocomplete ajax response updating extra fields

[bschoen]

I've got a rich:tabpanel with 2 tabs. The first tab has a rich:datatable and the second has a rich:autocomplete. If the datatable is empty the autocomplete works correctly. If I add a row to the datatable on the 1st tab the autocomplete on the 2nd tab no longer works because the ajax response from the server sends "update" data for the fields on the datatable on the first tab. Since they don't exist on the second tab I believe the javascript code that would update the client side DOM fails and the values returned for autocomplete are not displayed (they are in the response though). Below is the good response and the bad response. You can see that the bad response has 2 extra update records for fields that don't exist on the second tab. In both responses the field "firmNameTestItems" has the correct auto complete data (Firm #1, 2, 3).

I created a simple sample app but could not reproduce the problem. So, my question is what could possibly cause these 2 extra fields to be added to the response?

Thanks.

In the "bad response" the fields being updated from the first tab (which is no longer being displayed) are rich:message fields embedded in the datatable. When removed all is well. I believe this is a defect and these fields should not be included in the ajax update.
