the drop-down was super.

Exactly

Okay, kind of update on that issue.

I just tried three other browsers on my Android phone: Chrome, Firefox, Startpage. All of them have removed the drop-down list for input fields.

Is this a global conspiracy by browser programmers to drive all users nuts?
Or is this an idiotic requirement from Google, imposed via the operating system itself?

@Sunshine-3000 said in [Suggestion]Please, make the new autocomplete suggestions design optional:

when the website author has taken the time to prepare a list of possible answers and the user wants to use it

what list do you mean?

On many web pages with forms, when you start filling-in an input field, the page will suggest an entry.

For example, in an online library catalogue, when I start typing 'Goet' in the 'Author:' field, the page suggests 'Goethe, Johann Wolfgang von'. Another example: On the website www.email2address.com, pressing the down arrow key once on my PC brings up a list of popular addresses. As soon as I start typing, the list is sorted according to my input. This used to work with Opera on Android too — one tap and the list would open. Now, however, I only see two or three suggestions above the keyboard. When I start typing, they disappear completely.

I hope I’ve made myself clear?

when the website author has taken the time to prepare a list of possible answers and the user wants to use it

what list do you mean?

I thought something broke in my phone. I uninstalled and reinstalled Opera on my Android phone. I tried everything I could think of. Waisting hours of my life.

WHY would a programmer disable a drop-down selection list in a text input field when the website author has taken the time to prepare a list of possible answers and the user wants to use it?

This is stupid, stupid, stupid!

and ignore everything else.

Ignore what else?

We’ve now confirmed the issue(the dynamic change part). It works in other browsers exactly as you described. Thank you very much for your input!
