Contact autofill breaks our autocomplete inputs in Safari

Open rgoj opened this issue 2 years ago • 1 comments

When you use our autocomplete inputs in Safari, you get an autofill dropdown that blocks Maptio's list of options.

See issue raised here: https://app.intercom.com/a/inbox/q3x5lnhp/inbox/admin/4637195/conversation/106323200013049#part_id=comment-106323200013049-21895730463

Probably something we should fix even if we still (and perhaps we should reconsider this?) advise people not to use Maptio in Safari.

Sadly this seems trickier than it sounds!

One possible solution for a user might sometimes be disabling contact autofill on their side in Safari > Preferences > AutoFill > Untick "Using information from my contacts":

We're using ngbootstrap and their examples don't have this problem, while our old implementation does, so that's one place to look for clues as to how best to address this!
