The part that confused me is the naming: the dropdown list kind of acts like
dropdown list & automatic (it also did in KDE3): it automatically selects the
first entry when hitting enter. The expected behaviour for a dropdown list
without automation would be to select the entry with the down arrow. But in
this case the down arrow selects the second entry.

My wish goes for a real dropdown list & automatic feature that actually acts
like your dropdown list but shows the selected entry in grey letters in the
address field until enter is pressed. That's how it works in other
applications.

The dropdown list without automatic should select the entry only by choosing it
with the down arrow (or mouse) and shouldn't preselect anything.

I'd prefer if all KDE applications would act the same when choosing the same
text completion mode and when all modes would be available for all
applications.

And options not available shouldn't be shown in the possible options (and not
been shown greyed out) to not confuse the user. 

What do you think?
