You almost never want the same title again, and it gets really annoying to see the popdown list, especially when you use common prefixes like "Add...." or "Leak:..."

This would be browser side I would imagine, as the autocomplete is not a Lighthouse thing on that field.
I would assume you would be able to tell your browser not to autocomplete that field, as we would prefer to not add attributes to those who do prefer that functionality in their browser.

Well yes and no. There's an HTML attribute called AUTOCOMPLETE you can turn off on a field by field basis. On browsers that don't support this notion it would be ignored. It is often used on login fields or credit card fields as a privacy feature, but it seems completely relevant here.
Here's one of many explainations...

Thanks for the suggestion Duane. We'll keep this in mind if it starts causing bigger problems, but I generally don't like disabling browser features unless you replace them.
One good reason to disable autocomplete is when it conflicts with JavaScript-based autocomplete fields.
