rich:suggestionBox seems to disable a4j:commandButtons on .x

I have a suggestionBox connected to a textbox. Whenever the user selects an entry from the suggestionBox, I have an a4j:support fire an action to populate an object and reRender a section of the page. This is where things get strange. For some reason, the a4j:commandButton stops working after I make the selection. I am using Eclipse-Ganymede and there are no errors in the console window. Does anyone have a clue on a possible cause for this?

in such cases show code snippets.

Probably you using EL in disable attribute of button. And using request scoped object in this EL. But it should be session scoped or kept alive with corresponding tab.

This problem only occurs after the action fires when the user selects an item from the suggestionBox list. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
