Description Michał 2020-07-19 16:46:49 UTC 
SUMMARY
The way autocomplete works have been changed recently (I don't know exactly when, I do updates rarely). Now, when autocomplete suggests something and user presses enter after entering a valid path in Dolphin, it navigates to the autocompleted path, instead of the one that user entered.


STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Have folders like this:
/mnt/nas/
/mnt/nas-backup/
(It's possible that Dolphin has to learn the possibilities, so perhaps manual entering both paths is needed as a precondition).

2. In Dolphin, press Ctrl+L to enter the path to go to. Type "/mnt/nas", press Enter.

OBSERVED RESULT
Dolphin goes to /mnt/nas-backup instead of /mnt/nas, because autocomplete have suggested "/mnt/nas-backup".

EXPECTED RESULT
Dolphin navigates to what user entered: /mnt/nas.

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Linux/KDE Plasma: Dolphin 20.04.2
KDE Plasma Version: 5.19.2
KDE Frameworks Version: 5.71.0
Qt Version: 5.15.0

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
This kind of autocompletion would be OK, if there was no ambiguity, but in case of one, it should not kick in.

Just to add, adding slash after the entered path doesn't help at all. When I type "/mnt/nas/" Dolphin goes to autosuggested first directory within /mnt/nas, in my case it's "/mnt/nas/ backup".
