go to Tools > Options... > General > Connection settings
Consider that you have a quite long entry in "No proxy for" (let's say >50 chars)
When you append a new entry at the end, you cannot see what you are typing
because you only see the beginning of the entry

Reproducible: Always



Expected Results:  
see what you are typing

same problem with linux build (should be OS:all(?))

Many textboxes in the preferences dialog have this problem (General:Homepage,
all of the connection setting fields).

If "End" is pressed in an input field already too long to display the end of the
string is displayed. When typing text the display jumps back to the beginning of
the string not showing the change.
