Video demo, trying to navigate to ~/ and ~/.local/

SUMMARY

When I start typing a path in the location bar and tab-complete it, it also
shows faintly some deeper-directory completion suggestion, inline.

When I hit Enter to go to the path I typed+tab-completed to, it instead
surprises me by navigating to that faintly suggested deeper path. I never want
that. 

So now to tab-complete to a folder, it's: type, tab, backspace, enter.
Backspace should not be necessary.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Focus location bar editor
2. Type the beginning of a path which contains subfolders and for which Dolphin
suggests subfolder suggestions*
3. Hit <tab> to finish "typing" that path
4. Hit <enter> to navigate to that path

*I actually can't figure out how it's determined whether to show deeper
completions for a folder. Some do, some don't.

OBSERVED RESULT

Dolphin navigates to the first suggested subdirectory of the
typed+tab-completed path.

EXPECTED RESULT

Dolphin should navigate to the typed+tab-completed path (as in previous
releases).

I should need to hit tab again before hitting enter in order to navigate to the
first (faint-text) suggestion, and the suggested path should change to
non-faint-text if it's going to affect what happens when I hit enter.

The fact that typing the following two sequences has the same navigational
result demonstrates the low predictability of (or need for) the current
behavior:

<ctrl+l>~/Doc<tab><enter>
<ctrl+l>~/Doc<tab><tab><enter>
