Cannot say as I now don't even get this far with my old Firefox, see bug report "Publication submit form broken in old Firefox"
With a new Firefox (9.0.1), I also have trouble with the co-author field. Here, I was able to add Jennifer as a new co-author (e-mail address was not yet in the system). For Özlem (also tried Ozlem), I do not get an auto-completion, so supposedly she's not in the system, but when adding her (with the plus sign) as a new author, the system complains "The email address already exists". (Adding her with an alternative e-mail address worked fine.)

To be more precise, auto-completion for "Ozlem" suggests one single line with the full list of authors from an older test where I entered a full comma-separated list of authors as one chunk. Reading some other posts, maybe the bug is that the auto-completion has been changed to only show stuff from the history of the submitting user?

Yes, I still cannot add existing co-authors. Tested both with Firefox 9 in OpenSUSE 11.2 and IE9 with Windows 7.There is no triangle to click on to get a drop down list of people and there is no auto-complete when a type in names. Also, if I just type in the list of co-authors and hit submit, the input is ignored. Going via the plus sign, I can only add co-authors if I come up with a new e-mail address. The same holds if I submit the publication with an incomplete author list and then try to add more co-authors editing the entry.

Also, after submitting From News to Comment: Resources and Benchmarks for Parsing the Language of Web 2.0 with an incomplete co-author list, I see Jennifer twice (with two different e-mail addresses) although I entered her only once for this publication, that is there was only 1 blue bubble with her name in it when I submitted the form.
I have got the same problem when trying to add a publication entry.
