Description Franz Trischberger 2012-06-23 09:02:35 UTC

As soon as I navigate with KeyUP/Down when typing, the currently written text is lost. Especially if you type some longer text to get better results from the autocompletion, this is disturbing.
A solution could be to add an extra entry for the current text to the top of the completion list.
Or KeyUP on the first/KeyDown on the last element gives focus back to the URL-Bar and inserts the text typed by the user.

Reproducible: Always

Ah, I see - navigating to the Search Line gives me the actually typed text back in the URL-Bar. I don't know if that is so intuitive.
Furthermore pressing "Esc" should not only hide the completion list but set the text the user actually typed. (Don't know if "firefox does it, too" is an argument :D)

Hi Franz, and many thanks for your "assisted" bug reporting. Unfortunately there are a couple of problems with your patches.
The first one (Key_Esc set typed string to the Urlbar) changes rekonq behavior, that has been explicitely requested this way. I think that firefox is a step behind in this case.
Anyway, to fix the bug reported here, I think the second one is enough. Thoughts?

Of course it is OK with just the second patch.
