Regression: Form autocomplete/autosuggest values are bold starting in Chrome 50

Reported by iamcraig...@gmail.com, Apr 21 2016

Issue description

UserAgent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10_9_5) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/50.0.2661.86 Safari/537.36

Example URL:
http://www.w3schools.com/tags/tryit.asp?filename=tryhtml5_datalist

Steps to reproduce the problem:
1. Go to the datalist example page above
2. Click into the input field and press the down key

What is the expected behavior?
The options to select from show up with a normal font weight

What went wrong?
The options are all bold

Does it occur on multiple sites: Yes

Is it a problem with a plugin? No 

Did this work before? Yes Chrome 49

Does this work in other browsers? Yes 

Chrome version: 50.0.2661.86  Channel: stable
OS Version: OS X 10.9.5
Flash Version: Shockwave Flash 21.0 r0

I tried to find another ticket for this, but I was not able to. It applies to all datalist attributes, but also the default autosuggest values for a form field (for example coming back to the login page for a site you have used before and entering your email address).

Hi, it's a deliberate change by the UX team. 
Thanks @ma. Just out of curiosity could you provide an explanation of the thought process for why this should be bold?
