It appears that what happens (and this is happening in Firefox but not Safari) is that the "accept" class, which is necessary for Submit to process and is added to the Author field if an author name is clicked on from the drop-down, is being excised from the field if (and only if) the end-user elects to tab to the Publisher field out of the Author field rather than clicking on it with the mouse.
Anand made a note of this in the autocomplete.js file, that "adding class directly is not working when tab is pressed. setTimeout seems to be working!" but it doesn't seem to work in Firefox. I'm assigning it to Anand for a look-see.
