personal taste I guess.

forgot about this... But this change is almost un-noticable because nobody is 
using a single arrow key press to fixate the completion: either what you want 
is pressing "return", is inserting some text somewhere in the url including 
the completion (possible with the new behaviour without different keypresses) 
or going to the end of the completion (which is possible as well by stupidly 
pressing "right" repeatedly or pressing end in both versions).

yeah, that's what I said.

Same behaviour. Remove the completion (as it is completely non-intrusive and 
can be regarded as non-existant until "Return") and add the pasted text.

Hmm, at least it seems that we both know about what we are talking about ;-)

Ok, this thread is going to be much too big again, I'll give up now for god's 
sake and hope we can fix it codewise now (remember, KDE 3.0 is released 
already, hint hint... :) If you need someone for hacking or if nobody is 
doing this in the next weeks I'll have a look at it.
