Bug Description
This is about the "confirm the person you meant" widget used in the Assign To (+editstatus) and Subscribe Someone Else forms, amongst others.
After entering a name into the field (e.g. "van de streek") and submitting the form, you're returned to the form and given a drop-down list box of the possible completions.
ONE IS SELECTED ALREADY. In this case, Martin Van De Streek, which is who I wanted.
So I just submit the form again, and am told that an error occurs, and given exactly the same screen again.
To actually get the form to submit, I have to click on the drop-down list box, and then click on the option that's ALREADY SELECTED.
Only then does the box to the left change to Martijn's e-mail address, and allow the form to submit.

This is a serious UI problem.
