First character remains highlighted

[Wardrop]

If you type something into a selectize field, and then backspace it, the highlighting for the first letter remains until you type something else. This issue applies to the current master branch.

This was originally mentioned in the comments of the related issue #1098.

Please let me know if any more information is required. Reproducing the issue should be simple enough.

STR as reported

1. you type something into a selectize field,
2. and then backspace it,

Actual: the highlighting for the first letter remains until you type something else

Expected: Highlighting disappears

Same problem with new findings:

If type "n" and backspace, then type "e" and backspace. Sometimes the n and e are highlighted. Because removed (or hidden?) items/options won't be remove highlighting.

ginlime's patch at #1169 fixed this for us 👍

The patch does not fix this problem, it always stays the first character highlighted in the suggestions when you delete the entry.

You can see the problem still here on the site demos also.

Can confirm that this bug is still present. You can fix it manually with the onChange or onItemAdd setting. Code sample:

$(yourSelector).selectize({
...
onChange: function(){ this.$dropdown_content.removeHighlight(); },
...
});

@greg-man This doesn't fix during the user stays focused in the field and deletes the input with backspace (or the mouse), it works only after you select an item.

[greg-man]

You're right, I missed that. How about adding

onType: function(str) { str || this.$dropdown_content.removeHighlight(); }

then?
