It used to work ok - Gmail subject used to be saved, and I could reuse it with drop down list shown when writing first letters. But it stopped to save new entries. Saved before are still avialalble, but not new. In other forms (on other sites), autocomplete is still fully operational, with saving new entries with no problem.

I am facing the same problem. Gmail Subject autocomplete has stopped working all of a sudden. Tried clearing caches, cookies, etc. Tried all browsers!

Since I need to send many e-mail with same subject daily, I managed this problem in some way. I created simple html file, with only this inside:

<form method="get"> <input type="text" name="subject" size=100><input type="submit" value="save"> </form>

When I need to save new subject, I open this file (no need to be uploaded, works from hard drive), write my subject, and click save. Then it is avialable in gmail.

Strange, stupid, but works :)
