Attachment: Screenshot of autocomplete - missing keyboard is screenshot glitch with 3rd party keyboard

While typing a URL, if I pause for a moment while a set of suggestions is displayed, the suggestion gets inserted into the URL bar, resulting in the screenshot attached.

Even though the inserted text is displayed as highlighted, suggesting that continuing to type will replace that and let you continue typing the URL you're trying to enter, instead that text is kept as part of the URL, resulting in you getting something you don't expect if you're not paying attention.

Note: The fact that the keyboard is missing in this screenshot is apparently a capture glitch due to the 3rd party onscreen keyboard I'm using.
