 * Official constant contact plugin v1.1.1 seems to have an email validation issue
   the green check arrow displayed after I had only partially completed email address(
   First letter after the @ symbol) and does not let me finish the form. I’d prefer
   to use the official form but can use the Ninja forms CC extension if i have to.
 * Thanks TW

 * Can you provide the full version of the email you’re trying with? I am curious
   if I can replicate the issue above.

 * Reason I was asking because it was possible that it was email-specific, but with
   the link you provided, I was able to determine it was any valid email.
 * That said, the field is still fully editable, and you could finish the form, 
   but there are 2 details involved that make it appear otherwise.
 * First up would be a detail on our end. Once HTML/browsers evaluate the email 
   to be valid, we use the pseudo selectors to set a background image of the green
   but it looks like we also end up setting the background-color to transparent.
 *     ```
       background: url("../images/check_circle.svg") no-repeat;
       ```
   
 * That’s something that we will need to tweak, so that instead of setting that 
   to transparent, we leave it to inherit what’s in the theme already.
 * One detail on your theme’s end is that the :focus font color is matching the 
   gray background, at least temporarily, making it look like there’s no text. Click
   away and then re-click and it seems to turn the text black. That said, black 
   on gray is still darn hard to read.
 * I want to get the transparent override removed from our plugin, so I will be 
   opening an issue for that. In the meantime, with some css specificity and touchups
   you should be able to get a white background back on the input.
 * Let me know if you have any other questions or concerns. Hopefully everything
   above makes sense.

 * Thanks Michael, but what about it not letting you put in your full email address?

 * You can still type in it the whole time, it just doesn’t appear like you are 
   because of the CSS changes that end up occurring. The Constant Contact Forms 
   plugin isn’t doing anything with js or similar, to prevent typing.
 * You can see that you’re still able to finish the email by doing a ctrl+a or cmd
   +a and highlight all the text in the input.

 * Just as a quick followup, I am actively looking into a solution we could provide
   for this on our end, specifically around the suddenly transparent background 
   on the inputs.

 * Scheduled to have a background applied to valid fields, in version 1.2.1.
 * Marking this as closed, as it’s a known and soon-to-be fixed issue.
