Attachment: small width

And the size of the popup is small.
The popup should expand the width to fit its content.

The suggestion popups just seems to be slow. I would bet they are doing some XHR when we type. If you type 'p', waits a bit and type 'i', you will see something popping.

If you type 'p' nothing happen at the first time, this is regression.

Attachment: sample ( bat practice )

The web page creates <datalist> and 'list' attribute when a text is input for the first time, .

if datalist and list attribute are dynamically added after 100ms when a text is input, the popup will not pop up. see sample.

So I guess this is site issue.
