Selecting "Search More..." incorrectly chooses the first search result

[Craig Gowing (credativ)]

Tested on 7.0 (r4013) and trunk (r3816) using Google Chrome 28.0.1500.95 (Linux amd64)

Current behaviour of the many2one field in a list view (eg adding SO lines in a quotation), typing in a search query with results and then deselecting the field will result in the first search result to be populated automatically. When quickly adding SO lines this is a useful feature.

However when you type a search query and select "Search More...", this results in the field losing focus and also populates the first search result in the field as well as bringing up the search dialogue. This may be misleading, especially if you close the search dialogue without selecting anything.

I propose that the behaviour of the "Search More..." dialogue should result in the many2one field being left blank until a result is actually selected in the dialogue.

Thanks,
Craig

Fix typo in description.
Linked branch off 7.0 with a proposed fix.

Well, actually there is no "good" behavior. Setting the field blank could also be misleading.

So, I'll consider this is a personal taste matter and I prefer to not alter that behavior.

Thanks Nicolas for sharing your insight. Would it be possible to set this to Opinion, not invalid?

FWIW, I do share the submitter's opinion.
