Description

When the AutoCompleteTextfield is used on a ModalWindow the suggestions are not shown. The reason is the following code in modal.css on line 171:

div.wicket-modal div.w_content_container {
position: relative;
}

This was added in revision 1071523 of modal.css. As a workaround to make the suggestions visible i use the following code in the css-sheet of my project:

/*

• FIXES rendering issue of autocomplete
• suggestions on modal windows in internet explorer 7, 8, ..?
  */
  DIV.wicket-modal DIV.w_content_container {
  position : static !important;
  }

I will attach a quickstart project, that you can use to reproduce the bug. Start it and type http://localhost:8080/ac into your browser.
To show the bug you have to remove the workaround from style.css or disable it using the developer toolbar of internet explorer.
