Issues with the Autocomplete pop-up, flashing off and on

I just upgraded to 18.0.1 on my Windows 7 64bit OS. When I start typing in something into an input box or the address bar the pop-up that comes up to show me what I have typed in the past (I'm calling it the autocomplete pop-up) flickers off and on. It comes up for a split second then disappears, but the drop shadow around the box remains there. It flickers on for a split second when I use my arrows or mouse to go through the list, but I don't know what I'm choosing. It is almost like it times out, but the drop shadow around the box remains on.

Any ideas whey this happening.
