hmm. If my memory serves me right, ... one certain older version of
Netscape/BSD (one of the 4.0x-beta-Releases)  did the right thing.
I consider the current misbehavior as a bug ..

hmm. But I've learned to hate the 'automagic' URL-completion of the
windows-Netscapes. The netscape people must have found an ai algorithm ;),
that just in every case completes to the wrong URL.
I really would appreciate an URL-completion done on demand (for ex. with
the tab-key) and allowing to cycle through all possible completions.
