This is a very ugly feature which will be fixed for sure in the future - there
already exists several bugs in bugzilla with different approaches how to handle
the domain guessing.
Nevertheless if you want to open an URL in a new tab (which probably was your
intention) you should use <Alt> + <Enter>.
