Plugin Dialogs are offering Text Suggestions

Using SU2025.0.634
Windows 11 24H2

I have a couple of Sketchup plugins that have text fields. Recently, I’ve been getting some very unwanted text suggestions based on the field’s history.

In Profile Builder, it looks like this:

In CabinetSense, it looks like this:

image440×231 9.5 KB

Has anyone else encountered this and figured out how to turn off the text suggestions? I’ve looked at Window settings, Edge settings, and SU settings and find nothing that affects this behavior.

This behavior is not seen in SU2024.

I think that’s due to the upgrade to CEF (Chromium Embedded Framework) 128. It’s a javascript autofill thing. The developer may have to update their extension.

If you’re comfortable, you could open Dev Tools and try pasting this:

document.querySelectorAll(‘input’).forEach(input => input.setAttribute(‘autocomplete’, ‘off’));

If it works, it’ll only apply to that session running the extension so you might be better off just deleting the autofill suggestions… not great for now but it’s promising for future updates to SU in general.

Yes, we did notice this. Last I knew, there was a bug where the user cannot actually select any of the suggestions.

As Jim notes it requires a CSS rule for input elements.

This is a JavaScript/CSS quirk, and SketchUp does not have documentation for using JavaScript, etc. for HtmlDialogs. So, there is no “easy” way to really notify extension developers about this.

Best you can do is try to contact the extension developer and give them the info Jim gave above. They’ll need to put the CSS rule into their dialog’s stylesheet or <style> element.

I’m not encouraging modifying licensed extension code because you’d probably break the signing at the very least… but the patch below works for me in a quick test.

If you know the extension author maybe you could ping them?

JS autofill off patch 
document.addEventListener("DOMContentLoaded", () => {
  // Patch forms
  document.querySelectorAll("form").forEach(form => {
    form.setAttribute("autocomplete", "off");
  });

  // Patch inputs
  document.querySelectorAll("input").forEach(input => {
    input.setAttribute("autocomplete", "off");
  });
});

Dark Mode users might want to add this css styling:

Light Mode Scrollbars 
/* Scrollbar */
::-webkit-scrollbar {
  width: 10px;
  height: 10px;
}
::-webkit-scrollbar-track {
  background: #f1f1f1;
  border-radius: 5px;
}
::-webkit-scrollbar-thumb {
  background: #ccc;
  border-radius: 5px;
}
* {
  scrollbar-width: thin;
  scrollbar-color: #ccc #f1f1f1;
}

Thanks all for the replies! I suspected a CEF issue. I’ll forward the CSS patch to the developers. Thanks @3DxJFD!

Yes, @DanRathbun, you are correct, none of the suggestions can be selected. Glad I’m not alone on this island…
