GitHub username lookup overlay steals focus

Description

Our custom GitHub username lookup overlay has the annoying habit of stealing focus, causing me to type into a field I though I'd already left.

For example, click in the Cc field and start typing. Perhaps, like me, you typed or pasted an entire GitHub handle. The overlay appears, and it's nice that it confirms that I typed or pasted the name correctly, but I don't require the overlay since I already typed the entire name, so I click in another field to focus it because I want to start typing there. The overlay disappears and sets the focus back to the Cc field so that when I begin typing again, it's going into the wrong field.

The functionality is provided by the AutocompleteUsersPlugin, of which we currently have version 0.4.4.dev0 (we had to use a pre-release to get compatibility for Trac 1.2). There is a newer version available. However, it does not look like any change touches this focus problem.
