Thanks for suggesting the obvious. ;) I live by the dev tools on FF.  
I always use them to attempt to discern what's going on.

FWIW, here's what I did to solve the problem:

As an experiment, I edited the drupal.css file to add a z-index on  
#autocomplete, and it fixed the problem. Well, that's not optimal as  
then I'd be re-editing that file with every update. Then I realized  
what I was doing wrong: I had added a position: relative to style.css  
(because afaik position is required for z-index settings), but  
drupal.css has position: absolute, and that was good enough for me. I  
deleted the override in the theme, and now autocomplete is working.

Thanks for the answer, though.

Now if only I could get sub-menus to work....

Best,
Laura
