jquery ui autocomplete suggestion are not closing after entering space between typed words

Question

Hi I have previously opened this thread How to tag users in feed like Facebook or Twitter does?. I am working with jquery autocomplete & so far I have this code with me.

Now when I am entering @user-name the suggestions are appearing. But when I hit spacebar the suggestions still remain there. Ideally suggestions should disappear as I hit space bar as we experience in facebook. Please help me to get the ideal behaviour. Thank you!

I'm actually not seeing that with Facebook... It looks like when you hit space sometimes new suggestions come up. Additionally, with the code you're using options should disappear unless there's a space in the autocomplete option in the dropdown. – Anaphylaxis

Edit your code to add one more line to else scope on line number 45

else
{
    $( "#birds" ).blur().focus();
    return false;
}

I'm sure it will fix the problem.
