As a volunteer tester for Opera, he has access to the bug tracker - same as I do, or Leo does. Not technically part of the "Opera team", but we do our part.

@sgunhouse Nice to hear some community members have access to bug tracker.

At the moment I find it very annoying that after I have entered the address, the first search suggestion is always chosen instead of the entered address when I press Enter.

In my case, I enter Google.de. After pressing enter, I end up in Google Translate because it is the first suggestion in the drop down list.
How can I change this?

@MrEyeballz It looks like an issue already being discussed in another topic.

This answer is useless and doesn't help remove this nonsense. Always being directed to pages I don't want to visit is a waste of time. Have to leave Opera if there is any solution.

Ok, I remember having this issue in the past, it's probably a bug.
I'm currently using Opera 67.0.3575.137.

I'm visiting a web page on a daily basis, let's call it https://abc.com.
Usually, when writing "a", then "b", then possibly "c", opera have completed the address bar with "https://abc.com". That's fine.

Now, last week I was creating a post on a forum and I had to generate a link to the reply form (not the actual reply), which is something close to: "https://abc.com/forum/posting.php?action=reply&t=32657".

From then on, whenever I type "a", then "b", opera autocompletes to "https://abc.com", but when I type also "c", it turns the address into "https://abc.com/forum/posting.php?action=reply&t=32657". This makes no sense to me - I don't want to 'reply again', this link should be dead and never used again.

I tried to clear the history of this link but it didn't help. I have even tried to Clear my Browing Data from 7 days ago, it did nothing except from logging me off from the abc.com site.

Also, when autocompleting, I have other proposals but there is an 'X' next to them. the unwanted link has no 'X' next to it (because it doesn't reside in my history).

I want to get rid of that item, what can I do?

Also, what is the priority of those proposals, why suddenly this one link is being proposed over and over, even though I used it like twice or thrice?

Please help.
