Actually further testing at customer site shows that the basic check .. then works but not in the following scenario:


on_open_button_press
  do
    check attached list_object_to_select as al_list_object then
      if attached selected_object as al_object and then al_list_object.data_id = al_object.data_id then
          process_open_object (al_object)
       else
         if/check attached content as al_content then
               al_content.
         end
       end
     end
   end

Where I put `if/check' is where autocomplete works/doesn't work.
