testing it chrome and escaping autocomplete

[Chris]

i have a simple, newbie question. during a login test, i am collecting username and password. when i enter in the username, the chrome autocomplete feature automatically pops down from the textbox and appears over the password textbox. how do i get around not having to press Escape or "tab out"/click outside the textbox to click in the password textbox so that it doesn't record an unnecessary step (which could potentially cause the test to fail if the user doesn't follow the same process)?

Hello Chris,

Thank you for your interest in Telerik Test Studio. 

In order to be provide a proper advice I would require few more details. Please let me know your input on the topics below. 
- Does the autocomplere feature appear only while recording?
- If so - have you tried to record the step in another browser?
- What the result would be if you do?
- Are you able to execute the test successfully? 

Please have in mind that even if you record steps that are so called 'faulty' and are not required you could then delete them from the test panel. 

It would be great if you could provide access to your application to test it on our side. Do you think this would be possible?

Thank you for your cooperation in advance! I hope to hear from you soon.

To get around it, I just changed the default browser to IE (from Chrome). I do know I can delete the step as you suggested which was my first option. Thanks for your help!
