Bug Description

I have been using onboard heavily. When I type in address bar or search box in a browser, a suggestion menu drops down and overlays left part of onboard and it makes difficult to use onboard, I have to move onboard out of that suggestion menu. Is there a way to force that menu under onboard?

After doing some experimenting today, I'd say probably not in a useful way, at least from Onboard's side. It is possible to raise the keyboard over the Firefox drop-downs, trunk does that temporarily, but that isn't enough. They keep receiving pointer events, so clicking Onboard's keys simultaneously selects whatever entry there is in the popup below. That's actually worse than what we had before.
I have no good idea how to solve that currently. If anyone has a suggestion let me know.

Apart from that there seems to be only turning auto-complete off completely via Firefox preferences.
