Auto complete control not displaying suggestions when text is pasted using mouse (RightClick+Paste)
We have some auto-complete controls in our applications. The suggestions for the auto-complete are displayed when user starts typing in the value or even when user pastes a text using keyboard (CTRL+V). But the suggestions are not being displayed when user pastes the text using mouse, i.e. Right Click + Paste.
Is there any way to display auto-complete suggestions on mouse event for paste instead of the keyboard events?

Which version of PRPC you are using and in which browser you are facing the issue?
Also please test if mouse right click+paste event is working for auto-complete control present in UI-Gallery or there also this is not working.

We are using PRPC v7.1.8. We have tried this in both IE11 and Chrome (although end users only have IE11).
Right click+paste does not trigger auto complete suggestions even in the controls in UI Gallery as well as the OOTB widgets (Weather widget configuration).

Hi Sandeep,
I can see the problem occurring in latest PRPC release as well. However I am not sure whether this is an expected behavior or a bug
Akash Mohapatra Bhavesh Jain any thoughts ?

Hi Santanu,
I don't think it is a supported feature.
Phani Madasu Could you please confirm.

The ui gallery shows same issue. Try this:
1) On developer portal, navigate to designer studio - > user interface - > ui gallery
2) In the blank field at the top, type the letter "ma" and notice you get stuff
3) Erase the "ma" and right-click the mouse and choose "paste" to paste in an "ma" (you'll have to preset your paste buffer so it contains an "ma" first of course), and notice you don't get stuff. You should get the same stuff either way, right ?
At first I thought this might be more of a browser-wide epidemic, but it doesn't appear to be. For example, while you're reading this message right now, if you scroll the mesh page all the way to the top right and compare the behavior when you type "ma" into the search field, or right-click the mouse and choose "paste" to paste in "ma", you get the same stuff either way.

Hi Sandeep,
As per my knowledge, the auto complete fetches the results on "OnkeyDown" Event.
But let's wait for SME to confirm.
