Steps to reproduce:
ajax_user_autocomplete is a global setting. However, in a typical shop there are both people who like the feature and people who want it off. So, this setting needs to be made available to individual users.

See also bug 578527. Depending on how that bug is fixed, this one may be a duplicate or even wontfix. The only reason I see which could justify to turn off autocompletion is because it may conflict with the browser own autocompletion feature. Otherwise, I don't see why one would want to turn it off as it's a real help to find the correct user. So based solely on "people who want it off" is IMO not enough to implement it as a user preference.

That's correct. For a number of power users the browser's autocompletion, which allows them to work with a limited number of long CC lists is extremely useful.

Whoa, it's been five years since #578527 was opened. What are the chances this user preference will ever be implemented?
