i found a way to do this . use a timer to listen autocomplete close event :

var stop = false;
setInterval(function(){
    if(!$('.ui-autocomplete').is(':visible') && !stop)

        $('.ui-autocomplete').css('display','block');
    }
},10);

but this is not good way to prevent closing menu !!!! you can set 'stop' to true when an event happen .
