Hello again,
The same issue [reported](https://meta.discourse.org/t/ux-issues-when-changing-post-authors/60756) about overlapping completion boxes is also taking place when trying to private message someone. When one goes to type the username, both the standard and discourse’s custom completion boxes show up.
The same fix of `autocomplete="off"` should fix the problem if applied on that input box as well.

I think this is the correct template to change…
