Adding: After some additional testing, the "Don't autocomplete" is ignored when 
there is an exact description match. It seems to function if there is not an 
exact match.

To reproduce:

Type in an exact match of a description. Select "Don't autocomplete" from the 
autocomplete list. Press tab to move to the next field. The "Don't 
autocomplete" is ignored as the fields are populated as if autocomplete was 
desired.
