Opera Stable 67.0.3575.97

Steps to reproduce:

1. Open URL on a domain never visited before. For example, https://web.archive.org/web/20200324184317/https://www.opera.com/
2. Wait for page to complete loading and close it
3. Open new tab and type root domain: https://web.archive.org (if URL https://web.archive.org/web/20200324184317/https://www.opera.com/ is suggested just clear the remaining chars and leave only https://web.archive.org)
4. Press Enter to load page
5. https://web.archive.org/web/20200324184317/https://www.opera.com/ is loaded instead of https://web.archive.org

Also face this behaviour. It seems that it loads not what inside address field but 1st in list of suggestions under address field
Another problem with address bar is that icons on the left to suggestion are totally taken randomly from my history websites

Sounds similar to https://forums.opera.com/post/203488, but that's in 69. May be different.

Do you have any web.archive.org URLs as Speed dials on the start page?

I can't confirm.

#3 ... (if URL https://web.archive.org/web/20200324184317/https://www.opera.com/ is suggested

It's not suggested in the address field for me in this case (just in the drop-down). Probably why I can't trigger the issue I guess.

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.
