Description

We have some dialogs in our web application that include forms with auto complete text fields. These dialogs can be cancelled / closed by pressing the Escape key. However, when the focus is on an auto complete text field, that key press event is not propagated / bubbled onward, even when no auto complete options are in fact shown. Auto complete text field should only kill the Escape key press event when any options are actually shown, else it should propagate the event.
