Since 3-4 months, the Autocomplete URL feature gives suggestions that are more or like accurate but at the moment I add some additional characters that doesn't match with the suggestion, it just stay there highlighted with the TLD at the end and I have to press the backspace button before submitting. I disabled the feature cause it's really really annoying, especially if you miss click on the enter button (DNS record not found)... Don't tell me the unhelpful sentence "remove the suggestion from your list".

I just got an example trying to search for the word soyouz and it just suggest me to browse soyonslibres.fr (never ever been there) and ultimately end in soyouznslibre.fr.
