There seems to be a problem regarding the selection of an option proposed by the JQuery UI autocomplete widget between JQuery Mobile 1.0-rc1 and 1.0-rc2. If I click or touch an option that has a JQuery Mobile form element behind it, the form element will receive the click event instead of the autocomplete suggestion.

This problem did not occur under Mobile RC1. See for yourself.

Here is a jsFiddle showing the issue under JQuery Mobile Latest (1.0-rc2): http://jsfiddle.net/hJ2cm/11/
Here is a jsFiddle without the issue under JQuery Mobile 1.0-rc1: http://jsfiddle.net/T5D3y/

This issue has been reproduced under Google Chrome, Firefox 6, Windows Safari 5.1, iOS 5 Safari on iPad 2, iPhone 3GS. However, it does not occur under IE8 and 9.
