I don't think that such behavior is related to speed dials.

I for example have no speed dials, but have seen such behavior sometimes too - Opera 'autocompletes' address bar with first suggestion entry and I have had hard times to delete autocompleted part of address and navigate to site main page.

I cannot confirm exact versions - erroneus behavior is not currently repeatable.

@burnout426 Yep, in order to reproduce the issue you need to have URL either in a bookmarks or in history.

@donq Could you tell what is your version?

I can reproduce on
Opera Stable 67.0.3575.97
and
Opera Next 68.0.3618.24

I do not use Developer version

If I add https://web.archive.org/web/20200324184317/https://www.opera.com/ to "other bookmarks", visit https://web.archive.org/web/20200324184317/https://www.opera.com/, open a new tab and type web.archive.org, https://web.archive.org/web/20200324184317/https://www.opera.com/ will autocomplete inside the address field. If I then, remove everything except web.archive.org and press enter, Opera goes to https://web.archive.org/. If I were to type https://web.archive.org/, there's no autocomplete.

(To reproduce the autocomplete again, I have to visit https://web.archive.org/web/20200324184317/https://www.opera.com/ again before testing.)

So, I can't reproduce that way.

However, if I instead add https://web.archive.org/web/20200324184317/https://www.opera.com/ to the start page, goto https://web.archive.org/web/20200324184317/https://www.opera.com/, type web.archive.org in the address field and remove all the autocompleted part after web.archive.org so that it just says web.archive.org, and press enter, I can confirm that it takes me to https://web.archive.org/web/20200324184317/https://www.opera.com/ instead of https://web.archive.org/. Again, if I type https://web.archive.org, there's no autocomplete to reproduce the issue.

So, for me, (with a fresh profile and fresh cache) in 67.0.3575.97 64-bit on Windows 10 OS Version 1909 (Build 18363.720), I can confirm in that specific start page case. Autocomplete from speed dials seems to be a little too agressive and overrides editing of the autocompleted URL.

If you goto the URL opera://flags/#suggestion-scoring-improved, disable the flag and restart Opera, does it still happen?

That seemed to have fixed it for me. but, if I just got lucky and it doesn't help for you, this issue is DNA-85321 and it's already fixed. Watch the changelogs at https://blogs.opera.com/desktop/. Fix might be in the next Opera Developer build at least.

To be clear, the https://forums.opera.com/post/203488 part of this issue is fixed. When you get a chance to test in Opera Developer, make sure the specific issue in this thread is also fixed. in Opera Developer. If not, there's more work to do on the fix.

@burnout426 Thank you for the opera://flags/#suggestion-scoring-improved! It can be used until Opera Stable with DNA-85321 fixed is released.

Could you tell if you related to Opera team?

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.
