Details

After creating an account at The NewYorker, you have to type 1 char into each field (for address) - letting the browser fill them in leaves them yellow and it thinks you haven't entered any data.

Same thing on the create account page, for email address (though it's not yellow); if you autofill the email and then type a password, it won't enable the link to create the account until you type 1 char into email.

I've seen this on quite a few sites...

I'm pretty sure this is a duplicate but I didn't see one when I looked at the open bugs in Toolkit::Form Autofill. Matt, do you know of a duplicate for this bug?

These sites aren't listening for input or change events as they probably assume autofill doesn't exist or only test in browsers which fire some of these events without any standard on how/when they should be fired. See https://github.com/whatwg/html/issues/3016
