So if a form is too long and you need to scroll, all those fields you can't see won't be auto-filled? Sounds pretty terrible IMO.
- chinathrow 10y agoTo me (as a non autofill user), the published bug sounds way more harmful than a little inconvenience.
- elsurudo 10y agoIt's not just an inconvenience – it's broken and unexpected UI behaviour.
- Jarwain 10y agoWell why not have it autofill on-draw?
- onion2k 10y agoIt'd be easy to move the hidden elements on to the screen when the user clicks the submit button, so they'd be filled in and the form would then be submitted, and the information 'phished'. The solution to this problem is to inform the user which fields will be completed by autofill, with a "not currently shown" highlight on any fields that are currently off the screen so the user understands what's happening.
