Remove italics from helper content and reduce the font size a bit further to 0.75rem (to start—may need to adjust further). (This is already present)
When content is longer than can be shown: truncate the right side of the helper text with ellipses (note—use the single-character … rather than three dots ...). (This is already present)
Add a small delay (~100ms to start, we'll adjust from there) before displaying an autocomplete dropdown. (This is quite complex. See comment on the issue.)
