when autocomplete is used in a block, the options are truncated and not displayed properly. see attachment. this is critical because the users cannot use this search block as they cannot see all the content.
little bit of debugging shows that setting the style for that block to 

#block-myblock-1 .content{
	position:absolute;
}

works but then. the rest of the blocks are not rendered properly if this style is used.

The issue with this is that overflow: hidden is applied to .block. Your autocomplete widget is larger than the block and anything to the bottom and right is getting hidden. You can change it to this to fix the problem:

#block-myblock-1 {
  overflow: auto;
}

I will not change this in the theme though, because it's by design to prevent users from breaking the layout.
