Abstract:
Discourse PWA spontaneously prompts Apple Passwords to prompt an autocomplete for a specific website that begins with “c” (my discourse domain begins with “m”)

Priority/Severity: High though have been coping with this for about 1 year, however it’s happening more frequently now

Platform: Safari iOS 18.5

Discourse version: 3.5.0.beta8-dev

Docker_manager Commit Hash: d91016d

Description: this usually co-insides with the composer being stuck so i restart the PWA and re-open the draft, but oftentimes the autocomplete follows.

Reproducible steps:

A close-up of a virtual on-screen keyboard displays the letters 'q' to 'p' and 'a' to 'l', with a red blur obscuring a section of the screen above it, next to a Google search query asking for a password. (Captioned by AI)

i’m running a rebuild, though ran one yesterday, hopefully it improves after that :slightly_smiling_face:

a message during rebuild that has been appearing is about gem but i didn’t get a photo of it this time, it says “Please report a bug if this causes problems”
