Description

If you use the autocomplete feature in the search box and press the Enter key while a name is selected, the content loads in the display panel and then immediately reloads. This causes an annoying flash of content on the screen, clogs up the server unnecessarily, and can be annoying for users with slow connections or computers.

The problem is that the form is submitting twice—once because the user has pressed Enter and once because the page is submitting the form programmatically.
