Issue descriptionUserAgent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10_13_2) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/63.0.3239.84 Safari/537.36 Steps to reproduce the problem: 1. Add autocomplete="off" 2. Observe autocompletion still happens What is the expected behavior? Autocompletion should be disabled with autocomplete="off", like other browsers do this. Not with "false" or any other hacks/tricks, like "new-password". This is not a password field. What went wrong? We do use libraries that replace regular <select> with a customizable drop-down allowing users to search and use AJAX to dynamically load list options (useful for large lists). The library provides a text field where users can type a query, see the screenshot attached – a double drop-down displayed with no way for us to disable autocompletion for this field. The content of this field is not submitted to the web server, the field doesn't even have a name attribute, so forcing autocompletion on such fields is nonsense. Did this work before? Yes Does this work in other browsers? Yes Chrome version: 63.0.3239.84 Channel: n/a OS Version: OS X 10.13.2 Flash Version:

Hi, I only have that screenshot from one of our users. So far I can't reproduce this on my end. Attached screenshot displays the expected behavior. Will ask for the exact browser version.

This is strictly related to https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=587466 (where many developers spent a lot of time describing why Chome should respect the autocomplete=off attribute, uselessly)
