Typing in an address in the address bar (espn) and wanting it to autocomplete
and open in a new tab (Alt-Cntrl-Enter) does nothing. Equenvalence would be to
open a new tab, then type "espn" and do CNTRL-Enter for autocomplete. 

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Type name of site ie espn
2. ALT-CNTRL-Enter for autocomplete new tab
3.

Actual Results:  
Nothing

Expected Results:  
Opened up http://espn.com in a new tab
WFM Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.2b) Gecko/20021101 Phoenix/0.4

(it's prepending www. and appending .com and opening in a new tab. Likewise,
Shift+Alt+Enter prepends www. and appends .net in a new tab, so does
Shift+Ctrl+Alt+Enter for .org)
Confirming. Ctrl+Alt+Enter does nothing for me.

Well that's remarkable considering it is working in Linux at least... maybe I
should shut up before it disappears ;-)
