Bug Description
how to reproduce:
Open new tab, click into the address bar, start typing. During first few keystrokes the suggestions are opened and matches are shown, but immediately after the sting is so long that it does not match anything in the history, the keystrokes are lost, typing stops. I have to move mouse pointer back to the address bar and click again into the box in order to continue typing.
This is quite annoying since I have to click twice and pay attention at which character the thing stops working...
