Chrome Autofill covers Autocomplete for Google Maps API v3

I am using Google Maps Javascript v3 to setup autocomplete on an HTML input field like so:

The issue I\'m having

Answer 1

I managed to fix this issue for Chrome 69 by changing the input's placeholder.

I had 2 inputs tied to Google Places Autocomplete. As soon as you clicked the field, autofill showed up covering the suggestions from Autocomplete. I also had a listener set-up to change the 'autocomplete' attribute of the input to something random, like 'no-google-autofill'. That worked well until I upgraded to Chrome 69.

Eventually, I fixed it by changing the input's placeholder from 'Postcode' to 'Area'. Apparently, the autofill got triggered because of the placeholder. Sometime's Chrome tries to be too smart for its own good.
