[maemo-developers] qtwebkit - disable word auto complete

Is there a way to disable the word auto complete for all the input fields on
html pages when using the webkit?

 

By default the word competition is active even for password fields making
impossible to type a password. Even on regular "input fields" is pretty hard
to deal with it because depending on the style you can't tell what part of
the word you type what part is the "suggestion". Worst of all it seems that
there is a bug and the auto complete is duplicating the last word you typed
when presenting the suggestion in some cases (couldn't pin point yet).

 

I tried to compile macuco2 with qt 4.7 and it fixes this problem but create
some others (like the background being transparent or black for some web
sites that used to work fine).

 

I can finally promote macuco2 to "extras" but this bug is quite annoying and
makes very hard for people to fill "login" forms. Any help is greatly
appreciated.

 

To verify any of the bugs just install macuco2 and test some web sites. One
good example of where I ran into errors is on the twitter (select the
"social" button and then twitter on the "starting" page).

 

Thanks in advance,

Felipe
