Description

If you use autocomplete on a text field, when the input field is empty, the selection list is never displayed. However one could send a non-empty list of values when the input field is empty. For example one could send the complete list with all possible values. Later, as the user starts typing in the field, the list would get narrowed down.

So it would be nice if the selection list is displayed even if the input field is empty.
