Description

• Bug: Rxjs subscription not removed in all cases
• Feature: Description of the feature. Cause and its Motivation_

RXJS will keep sending updates until it is completed. I use this over a list that constantly pushes updates and the autocomplete itself keeps coming and going. This leaves a number of these subscriptions open consuming memory and processing useless code on the update of the initial list.

I have implemented a work around by using take(1) on my subscription however this bug is not obvious. I only found it as a result of looking at the code. There is also a slight possibility that the wrong list could be displayed, I never saw it happen however.

This also introduces a lookup when the list is cleared. Our testers considered it an error that I entered part of the values then the list just disappeared entirely. This is a breaking change as the results are different from the previous version.
