When I enter email/name in web forms, the form doesn't "read" or recognize my entered text as valid name/email.
This has happened on several different websites, in several different contexts. I enter the information but then receive a "Please provide your name and email address" or "That's not a properly formatted email address" message (depending on whatever the form's code provides for error messages for blank required fields). I've double checked, of course, and the text is entered correctly. This did occur once with autofill, the other times I entered the text myself.

Thanks - will try that the next time it hits. It seems to be happening less often and more randomly now, and I did just clear history so that may well be the answer. Thanks again!
