When you invite someone to a topic, the `` allows browser autocompletion, but Discourse implements its own autocompletion. This means that when I type “fred”, the browser might suggest “[fred@fred.com](mailto:fred@fred.com)”, whilst Discourse suggests “winifred”. Discourse is, of course, the one that I want to use, as it completes by username. 🙂 ---

Sure @techapj can you add the HTML attribute that suppresses browser autocomplete here? ---
