Chrome Auto-fill Gets in the Way of Contact Country Popup

Chrome seems eager to auto-fill my own address into the City, State, and Country fields in the "Contacted Station". I can mostly ignore the city and state popups, but the one for country is kind of annoying, since the Chrome auto-fill popup is above Forester's own autocomplete list of countries.

Apparently it's difficult to tell Chrome not to auto-fill a field that looks like an address, but there are some hacks people have tried. Accepting "USA" for "United States" might make this a little less annoying.

I usually have Chrome autofill disabled, but yeah, I see what you mean. Thanks for the reference!

Made an attempt in dce083d, only for the contacted station right now. See if that helps.

Setting autocomplete to an invalid value (I used dummy) seems to do the job, at least in Chrome.

Yeah, this looks like it's working on Chrome.

This trick does not appear to help in Safari, but it's a little less irritating there because Autofill does not kick in unless it matches a contact.
