Just been testing this, but have not been able to get this to reproduce.
Nor can I find report of address autofill occurring in code-mirror inputs like is happening here, nor do we specifically enable any kind of auto-fill for the inputs used here.
I have also not seen any other reports for this.

I can only guess maybe it's a bug in that version of chrome, or maybe there's been an address form-fill in the past for that address autofill entry, that had overly generic names which are also used as input names by BookStack.

Since this has been unreproducable, and since I have not had other reports of this, I'll go ahead and close this off.

Hi, sorry to revive this thread, as I didn't notice the previous reply.

I'm pretty sure this isn't chrome version specific as I often update it. I recently updated bookstack as well, which deprecated support for PHP 7.4 so I am now on PHP 8.2

The issue seems to no longer be present for the editor field, but is still present on the title field.

I went ahead and tested this with both Edge and a fresh Chrome profile, before and after adding an address, and they both produce the same result:

I'm using imgur because github's video compression dropped almost everything useful from the recording
