Bug#533522: [epiphany-browser] does not allow to remove entries from the awesome bar's completion list

[Fabian Greffrath]

Package: epiphany-browser
Version: 2.26.1-1
Severity: minor

Hi,

the new awesome-style address bar in epiphany is really awesome.
However, once I typed in a faulty URL the bar will remember it and
always show it among the suggested completion entries. There is no way
to remove specific items by e.g. pointing the mouse over them and
pressing the Del key as in Iceweasel.

In my specific use case I wanted to browse the Debian pkg-gnome SVN
repository at <http://svn.debian.org/wsvn/pkg-gnome>. The first time I
entered this URL I accidently typed a dot instead of the dash in the
pkg-gnome part: pkg.gnome. Now every time I want to visit the repository
I type "svn gnome" in the bar and select the first entry, which is still
the mistyped URL although I have already entered the right one several
times since then.

Another use case: Image what might be shown if someone types the letters
P and O and maybe R into the address bar, when the user had no chance to
clear some specific entries off of the list before. ;)

Cheers,
Fabian
