Forum:Misaligned Autocomplete on Semantic Forms

This is a wikia wide bug with the Semantic forms ("SF") extension. My wild ass guess is that since both wikia and SF use YUI that an assumption is being made that is valid for all wikia CSS objects (eg for category or template name autocomplete) but not non wikia objects employing YUI autocomplete.

To reproduce bug:
 * 1) Go to File:Santa_Fe_locomotive.
 * 2) Click "Edit with form" (next to "edit this page")
 * 3) Scroll the page so that the field labeled "State/province" is in the middle of the page.
 * 4) Type "texas"
 * Bug: Yahoo's Autocomplete floater aligns to absolute 0,0 of the article pane (now offscreen).
 * Expected behavior: floater is aligned to input field object left, and lower Y (eg:[Dom.getX("inputField"), Dom.getY("inputField") + Dom.get("myInput").offsetHeight +5)

This reproduces on other Wikia wikis:
 * government wiki

Browsers: IE8 and Firefox 3.0.13.

Regardless whether this is a bug that needs correction, please advise if there is specific js or css for page specific setting the coordinates for YUI autocomplete.
