It seems that if you select an auto-complete item and switch to an other tab, it
will revert to whatever text was written before the auto-completion..

- Open 2 tabs
- Focus the second tab
- Start typing something in the address bar so the auto complete pops up
- Choose an entry with the right arrow key (so it won't actually visit the site,
but only select it) Note: you can also actually visit the site by pressing
Enter, but the site should not finish loading while following these steps
- Switch back to the first tab
- Switch back to the second tab

You will notice that the address bar's text is set to whatever you started
typing before selecting the auto-complete.
