Description Olivier Vitrat 2007-04-27 16:17:13 UTC 
Version:            (using KDE KDE 3.5.6)
Installed from:    Debian testing/unstable Packages

reported in Debian BTS at http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=415364

The completion list that is shown as a drop-down list when you start
typing an URL may contain repetitions. This is unhelpful and makes you
look twice to check if there is any difference. The list should only
show unique entries.

It seems to happen when the entries are collected from two different
sources, such as the available man pages and the recent list.

For instance, type "man:man" in the URL field. The completion list
shows (depending on installed packages)

  man:man
  man:mandb
  man:manpath
  man:manpage-alert

which is fine. Now press enter to see the manpage for "man" (actually
probably a disambiguation page, but never mind), and again type
"man:man" in the URL field. Now it shows

  man:man
  man:mandb
  man:manpath
  man:manpage-alert
  man:man

It gets even more obvious if the prefix is unique, then you get just
two identical entries.

I see the same
Comment 2 Marcus Better 2008-03-10 18:43:11 UTC 
Bug still present in KDE 4.0.2.
Comment 3 Samuel Brack 2011-01-09 23:27:07 UTC 
Confirmed in 4.5.4.
Comment 4 Dawit Alemayehu 2011-06-12 00:28:48 UTC 
This is caused by a combination of the completion matches and the history items. IOW, Konqueror shows both possible completions as well as previously visited locations in the completion box.
