[Autofill] Hidden field detection needs improvement

Project Member Reported by parastoog@chromium.org, Jan 22 2018

Issue description

Sometimes, a field is hidden from the user's perspective, but doesn't have a hidden attribute (because of the position or .. ). We need to detect them for better sectioning among other reasons.

Example: Home Depot. There are two expiration month/year. The first one is hidden, without any hidden attribute (by z-index = -1).

ElementVisibilityObserver from C++/IntersectionObserver API might be useful.
 
Description: Show this description
The current version of the Intersection API doesn't detect the cases we want. The problem is referred to as "occlusion detection," and will be added to the v2 of the API.

Just curious, do they have an ETA?

No, they (szager@) said Q3 or Q4 probably.

Should we keep this open? I think it's a worthwhile endeavor :)
Unfortunately, I don't have an example for this bug, let's wait and see if there is any form that doesn't work for this reason, and reopen it in that case.
