Prevent autosuggest selection from dismissing dialog

Question

prevent autosuggest selection from dismissing dialog
Hello -
Using JDeveloper 11.1.1.3.0.
In my page I have a popup dialog window in which is a form for editing data. One of the form fields is an <af:inputListOfValues> that itself contains an <af:autoSuggestBehavior> tag. Like so:
        <af:popup id="editPopup" contentDelivery="lazyUncached"
                  popupCanceledListener="#{myBean.editPopupCancelListener}">
          <af:dialog id="d2" title="EditThe Data" stretchChildren="first"
                     contentWidth="600" type="okCancel"
                     affirmativeTextAndAccessKey="Save Changes"
                     cancelTextAndAccessKey="Cancel Changes"
                     dialogListener="#{myBean.editPopupDialogListener}">
            <af:panelFormLayout id="pfl1">
              <af:inputListOfValues id="myField"
                                    popupTitle="Search and Select: #{bindings.myField.hints.label}"
                                    value="#{bindings.myField.inputValue}"
                                    label="#{bindings.myField.hints.label}"
                                    model="#{bindings.myField.listOfValuesModel}"
                                    required="#{bindings.myField.hints.mandatory}"
                                    columns="#{bindings.myField.hints.displayWidth}"
                                    shortDesc="#{bindings.myField.hints.tooltip}">
                <f:validator binding="#{bindings.myField.validator}"/>
                <af:autoSuggestBehavior suggestedItems="#{bindings.myField.suggestedItems}"/>
              </af:inputListOfValues>
            </af:panelFormLayout>
          </af:dialog>
        </af:popup>If a user make a choice from the autosuggest popup by hitting the Enter key, the choice will be made AND the dialog's OK button (in this example, the "Save Changes" button)will also be triggered.
Is there a way to have the Enter key select the choice from the autosuggest popup but NOT propogate to the dialog?
Thank you for reading my question,

Hello -
Thanks for replying. However, I do not understand what you are suggesting - the code shows that my input component is in a popup component. Plus, I am not having any trouble with cancel functionality - my problem is that when the user selects a choice from the autoSuggestBehavior list, the user chooses his choice by hitting the Enter key (the user is using the keyboard as much as possible instead of the mouse) and that also triggers the "Ok" button in the dialog.
What would you do differently?
Thanks
