Details

When previewing saved address in a form field, the Autofill popup gives an indication of which other fields will be filled.

This indication is near the bottom of the pop-up, just above the "Form Autofill Options" button. Messages like "Also fills email, phone, and address" are displayed.

Currently the presence of just the country causes the message to include "address" in the list of items to be filled.

Steps to reproduce:
* Visit a form.
* Select an entry specifying "Also autofills ddress" in the popup.

Expected result:
* My street address is filled in the form.

Actual result:
* Possibly no address fields are filled in (if the form doesn't include a country field). Possibly just a state. Possibly just a city.

If someone asks my address I give my street address, and possibly other information. I don't consider something without a street address to be an "address".
Thank you BJ for reporting.

Since there are many of possible fields in a form, in order not to list all of them on the dropdown item making it lengthy, we ended up categorized the field names into several groups. Also, in practice, it's hard to detect the label preceding the input field, we couldn't reflect the exact meaning of label in our warning notes but choose a similar term. 
I'll discuss with our UX to see how we can adjust the group names that more close to user's expectation. Thanks again.
