If I open the location www.ibm.com (so it is in my history) and then
try to open the japanese version www.ibm.co.jp, it autocompletes it
to www.ibm.com and won't let me type in the whole address.


Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.open www.ibm.co.jp
2.open www.ibm.com
3.now try to open www.ibm.co.jp, but pause before typing ".jp".


Actual Results:  It autocompletes it to www.ibm.com, and it doesn't let me type
in the
period.

Expected Results:  It should let me type in the period to get www.ibm.co.jp

yes i have this problem. we seem to be much more sure of completion when 
there's only one char left and then backspace seems to be ignored.

i'm 99% sure this is a dupe of focus getting stuck in the [now] hidden 
completion menu.

Testcase:
http://www.hp.com
http://www.hp.co
                ^m completes, press <down> or <up> to restore 
urlbar to
http://www.hp.co
[add .il because .jp doesn't seem to exist]

as much as I'd like to fix this in mozilla 0.9, I am overloaded and must push
this back a milestone. Sorry!

nav triage: yes this is pretty bad behaviour of the autocompletion in URL Bar, 
we need to fix this one.
