title: jquery autocomplete - prevent closing it when clicking on outside div?
body: <p>So - jquery autocomplete and extra div with special character icons that can be inserted into a search box (such as É, ã etc)...</p>
  
  <p>Whenever user types - autocomplete dropdown show up, but when user needs to click on a special character icon (so it would be inserted into a searchbox) -> autocomplete dropdown predictably closes as focus has been lost:( </p>
  
  <p>Is there a way to prevent jquery autocomplete dropdown from hiding on lost focus in cases when user clicks on one of the special character icons?</p>
