Description

The fix for me was to just add a relatively position div somewhere above the inputAutocomplete. I imagine the best fix would be for `{{> inputAutocomplete}}` to do that automatically.

Before:

``` javascript

{{> inputAutocomplete settings=settings id="msg" class="input-xlarge" placeholder="Chat..."}}

```

after:

``` javascript


{{> inputAutocomplete settings=settings id="msg" class="input-xlarge" placeholder="Chat..."}}

```

If this doesn't make sense, I can try to create a small reproducible example, but I'm new to meteor, and not sure what the best way to share something like that is.

Research direction

Reproduce the inputAutocomplete case where $.offsetParent() returns an element, using the before and after examples in the issue. Trace the positioning logic and verify that the top position works without requiring a relatively positioned wrapper.
