Package: galeon
Version: 2.0.2-4
Severity: normal

Hi again!

When I type a URL in the Galeon location entry, a drop-down menu appears
offering me several autocompletion possibilities.
These possibilities are based on my history.

I would like to disable this feature (or even better, to have it
disabled by default and be able to explicitly activate it by hitting
[Tab]), since it exposes previously visited URLs to any other person
who's watching your screen while you're typing a new URL.
This may, in some cases, be a privacy issue.

I haven't found any setting to customize this autocompletion feature.

I don't know whether this behavior is Debian-specific, hence I'm
reporting here (please forward to upstream, if appropriate).

I was able to reproduce the problem with a newly created user.
Epiphany seems to show a similar behavior, but I think that it
depends on the user interface, rather than on the rendering engine;
consequently I suppose the two browsers are independent from each
other, as long as this feature is concerned...
