I was quickly trying to type "whois" [enter] and kept getting directed to another website!
Experimenting a bit, it looks like a suggestion based on some characters gets inserted even *after* I've typed more characters, erasing these characters.

For example, see the attached video:
- Slowing typing "w", "h", "o" works fine, I can see suggestions after "w" and after "h", but each one gets removed when I type the next letter.
- Quickly typing "who" (or "whois", "wha", etc.) results in "whistler..." (a website I visited quite a bit 1+ year ago), with the part after "wh" highlighted.
(I did this twice in the video.)

I also found:
- Typing "w" alone gives me "www.facebook.com" (sorry!)
- Typing "w" then "a" writes "wa", with the facebook suggestion in between getting overwritten by my "a", as expected.
- Typing "wa" quickly writes "www.facebook.com", so it lost the 2nd character.
