Most used terms and term suggestions in Forms

This thread is resolved. Here is a description of the problem and solution.

Problem: I have a term input field in Forms that offers suggestions as the User types. However, the suggestions are hidden behind a button that appears below the input.

Solution: Use custom CSS to ensure the autosuggest dropdown is pushed forward using z-index.

Thanks Christian, now it works!

But I have another issue: On the upload form I have a field to enter tags, when I start typing I think there are suggestions hidden behind the blue Add Button (Hinzufügen). Is there a way to show these terms?
Also, why are the terms I entered not being shown under the red most used terms? How many times does a term have to be used to be seen here?

Try adding this custom CSS to bring the suggestions to the front:

.wpt-suggest-taxonomy-term {
  z-index:10;
}

From what I understand about the WordPress tag cloud, the most used tags from the last 30 days are displayed here. So it's relative, depending on your site's recent content.

Thank you Christian, your CSS code worked. It's greatly appreciated. I uploaded a screenshot before/after so it may help someone else who comes across the same problem in the future.
