Originally reported on Google Code with ID 1618

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Go to http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/staff/mjohnson/cohenaa/jig/test/ncbiautocomplete/
Notice that when you enter "ca" in the text box, and then press the down arrow key,
you get blue highlighting over "breast cancer" and that word gets filled in the input.

2. Now run the webdriver code attached.

3. Note that the code, using the Firefox driver and FF4x doesn't highlight the first
tiem, and the text box never gets "breast cancer" filled in, indicating that the call
to sendKeys( Keys.ARROW_DOWN ) never got executed properly. This does however work
as expected using the IE driver, and works if you have FF3x installed instead of 4x.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
I expect to see the first item in the autocomplete get a light blue background color,
like when a user would click the down arrow, and I expect to see the first item get
filled in the input.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
2.0b3 with FF 4.0.1.

Please provide any additional information below.
- Does not send the ARROW_DOWN key properly in Firefox 4x, but does in Chrome, IE driver
and in FF3x.

Can't reproduce in 2.0rc2, works in IE9, FF4.0.1, Chrome13. Is it still actual?

I'm experiencing the same issue in selenium IDE. 

In my case, I've noticed that there's an element that appears in the code when the
text is highlighted "ui-interactive-menuitem". 
When the line is not highlighted, the tag is "ui-menu-item".

I've tried keyPress (down-arrow) to select my item, which shows 'pass', but doesn't
select on the page. I've also tried setMouseSpeed and mouseMoveAt to try to simulate
a user's movement, but that won't work either.

If I could get one of these actions to trigger that ui-interactive-menuitem to appear,
I could move on from there, but none of the solutions I've tried have been able to
do this.

Closing the issue: there is no responce from the author for long time, and the Selenium
version mentioned in the issue is drastically outdated.
