1196849 - Location bar displays wrong domain if you're using keyword for a bookmark "%s.domain.com"

Status: RESOLVED INACTIVE

(Firefox :: Address Bar, defect)

Attachment: autocomplete suggestion displays wrong domain name.png

STR:
1. Create bookmark "http://%s.livejournal.com/" with keyword "lj"
2. Type into location bar "lj tema"

Result:       Autocomplete says "%s.livejournal.com: tema [magnifier icon]"
Expectations: It should say "tema.livejournal.com: [magnifier icon]".
             (I think magnifier icon and ":" are unnecessary in this case)

Compare with Release40 behavior: everything's clear. Domain is displayed correctly.

this is a very edge case, and I'd also claim it's sort of an "abuse" of the feature. keywords were intended to be used just from "Add keyword for this search" context menu option, exposing them in the bookmarks UI made them being used in the wild for a bunch of other features that were unintended. While those should keep working, they are likely to show UI glitches since it's unsupported cases.

not blocking unified complete since it's an unsupported fature of keywords
