[Bug 1043843] Re: When a location name is typed in the text box on 'Where are you page', drop down list doesn't always show right location names

[Akhila]

I don't hail from Kolkata. So it's in no way my choise of 'particular'
location within IST. IST is recognized as Kolkata time zone on these
maps for whatever reason. I believe it requires fixing, because we
cannot expect every user to know how his/her time zone is recognized on
the map. User may choose to type out his/her location name exactly. I
know for instance, I can choose Bengaluru as the location and proceed
(though, after installation system chooses to show location as Kolkata
again).  Problem is not that. Simply typing out a location name doesn't
change the pointer on the map. It has to be picked up from the drop down
list. Now, irrespective of where your pointer is, if you type Kolkata,
like I did, for a moment the right drop down list appears and before you
move your mouse, it vanishes and some other irrelevant list comes up,
which makes choosing impossible. Then, if you BACKSPACE the last letter
'a' in Kolkata and retype it, behold, there's your right list! I guess
there's something happening that shouldn't.

Bug description:
  When a location name is typed in the text box on 'Where are you page',
  drop down list doesn't always show right location names. Example, when
  I typed Kolkata, it was giving out the result Kolkat, Mazandaran, Iran
  and when I backspaced 'a' in Kolkata and retyped it, the right drop
  down list appeared. To check again, I typed London, the drop down list
  showed results for Londo. Backspacing 'n' in London and re-typing it
  worked.
