Has anyone else noticed this? seems to only effect Chrome browser.

When filling in a online form quite often what i'll do to save time when filling in is that if it's a drop down box i'll type the first few letters which bring up the option that I want then then just click the option but then when you click down to the next input field the initial drop down just reverts back to what it was

For example if you go to this page
https://register.athensams.net/nhs/nhseng/

under the personal details section , do this
1. click on the please select of the title drop down box
2. now don't move the cursor just type in on your keyboard "DR"
3. Again don't move the cursor down to select DR , just left click on DR that appears under your cursor
4. Now that's selected click down into the empty forenames field

you will see that the title selection goes back to saying please select.
Checked the same in all other major browsers but it only seems to affect Chrome.
 
No it was not happening in my chrome.i think this error was happening in some browsers only so keep trying this.

Yup latest version of chrome (Version 28.0.1500.72 m), i've had about 10 separate people confirm it as well. You have to follow the instructions exactly as i've given above to see the issue.
The way I work is that I click on the drop down field, with my left hand type dr and then just left click as my mouse is already above the selection then use the mouse to click down to the next text field.

only real reason I noticed this was that on my site a lot of customer orders were coming through with Aberdeenshire as their county but the town/city would be coming in as London (for example) , took me ages to work out that this was the reason because they would select their county from the drop down (Aberdeenshire being first in the drop down list in alphabetical order) then clicking down to enter their down in the text field but then the county would reset to Aberdeenshire

Hi,

I tried on Chrome as well as Firefox and the error is not there

May be you have an older version or has not been updated recently
