Auto complete widget behaves strangely

[jingtang10]

The auto complete widget has two problems

1. It's very difficult to focus on it, you have to click the very left side of it
2. Once you've input a chip, the text box disappears, which looks very odd

Component
Core library, SDC library, reference app, or SDC gallery app

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Go to SDC gallary app
2. Click on General Health Assessment Questionnaire

Expected behavior
Focuse on the text input, and once typed in "asthma" and created the chip, the border of the input box still be there

Just highlighting that this is a feature we really need. We have dropdowns that may contain over 100 answer options and being able to filter those items as the user types will be very useful.
