Remarks:

Whenever you press a key on the keyboard:
RenderTextControl::subtreeHasChanged is called, which sets m_edited,
m_userEdited = true. 

When autocompletion kicks in the call flow is:
DOMHTML::_replaceCharactersInRange->HTMLInputElement::setValue->RenderTextControlSingleLine::updateFromElement->RenderTextControl::setInnerTextValue

Note, RenderTextControl::setInnerTextValue always sets m_edited, m_userEdited =
false.

Since a user must type at least one character before the field is autocompleted
(if applicable), RenderTextControl::setInnerTextValue should not explicitly set
m_edited = false. Instead, RenderTextControl::setInnerTextValue should not
touch this field.

On another note, the field RenderTextControl::m_userEdited seems to imply
whether the field was edited by the user. Since the auto-completed result is
not typed by the user, I believe m_userEdited should be set to false in
RenderTextControl::setInnerTextValue (as it is currently).
