Status:Open Resolved:
Product:Safari Product Version:Safari 8.0.6 (10600.6.3)
Classification:UI/Usability Reproducible:Sometimes
 
Summary:
When opening a new tab and typing in part of a URL, but using the arrow keys to select an option that's not the first one, Safari sometimes chooses the first option instead of going with the user input.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open a new tab in Safari
2. Begin typing a URL of a page previously visited
3. Use the arrow keys to select a displayed second option leading to a nested page on that site
4. On hitting enter, Safari will sometimes jump back to the first option - which is usually the root domain of that page - and load that instead

Expected Results:
Safari goes with the user input and loads the site the user has selected with the arrow keys.

Actual Results:
Safari jumps back to the first result it has suggested and loads that.
