Bug Description
In the webbrowser, when entering an address url of a website in the address bar, a list of similar webpages is provided below by auto-completion. The list is composed of url with a description of the address.
But sometimes (and quite randomly it seems) the url address and the description do not match at all.
Guess: It seems to happen with websites that I had removed from the history.
Actually, a website that has been suppressed from the history should not appear in the url list no?

It’s not happening with websites that were removed from the history. It’s a regression that I think was introduced with the fix for bug #1455858. Some entries in the history database appear to be stored with the title from the previous page in the navigation history. I haven’t been able to reliably reproduce the issue yet, although I have definitely seen it happening.
