Screenshot showing the erroneous recommendation

SUMMARY
In Dolphin, after clearing the location box, if you type the name of a folder in the home directory, it will be offered as an autocomplete entry. Confirming this will open it with the HTTP protocol, i.e. http://foldername/.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Select and clear the location box in dolphin
2. Type the beginning of a name of a directory in the home folder

OBSERVED RESULT
Autocomplete recommends the home folder directory, despite it being nonsensical. Pressing enter will prepend this result with the HTTP protocol, which is likely a default for the URL navigator.

EXPECTED RESULT
The recommendation should not be made, and potentially alternative behaviour than opening nonsense with HTTP, but the primary issue here is the recommendation itself.
