Reported by adam.pop...@gmail.com, Sep 29 2017

Issue description

UserAgent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.3; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/61.0.3163.100 Safari/537.36

Steps to reproduce the problem:
1. localhost:port/ in address bar with setting for "Use a prediction service to help complete searches and URLs typed in the address bar or the app launcher search box" turned off
2. alt enter to open a new tab

What is the expected behavior?
A new tab opens at localhost:port/

I have been able to recreate the behavior on a new profile, on a fresh install of canary. It's !sometimes! working correctly when the prediction service is turned off from the start. Once you enter the wrong webpage once, it's always entering the www.localhost.com:port/. It's not unfeasible to enter it, since when the prediction is turned on, that's the correct behavior. Deleting all info (cookies, history, etc) does not help. Creating a new profile sometimes helps, hard to say when, but certainly not always.

Attached - new profile, with localhost:7001/, entering it regularly is fine, entering it via alt + enter adds www. and .com

Version:
63.0.3231.0 (Oficjalna wersja) canary (64-bitowa) (cohort: 64-Bit)

Avast online security shown on the video is not the culprit btw, the issue originated at work, where avast is not adding the extension, just testing it at home.

adam.popanda@,
the behavior you're describing is exactly what would happen if you pressed control-alt-enter.  Are you sure that sometimes you're not accidentally pressing both control and and alt at the same time?

If you're sure, could you try again with a different keyboard plugged into your computer?  Maybe your keyboard is acting up.  (What brand of keyboard is it?)

Or perhaps you have alt mapped to alt+control in Windows?

Please investigate and let us know, as we cannot reproduce this.
I'm certain, that I'm only pressing the right alt, and enter. What is funny, is that it seems, that pressing left alt and enter seems to be working fine. I didn't bind control - alt to alt, and pressing "right alt + delete" doesn't launch task manager, so it seems, that it isn't bound to alt + control. 
The keyboard is fine, since the issue persists both at my work, and at home. I have a generic logitech keyboard, K120. At home I have a Dell, don't remember the model. I'm using the "Polish programmers'" language in windows. Seems to be, that "AltGr" might be causing problems here. Still, I don't think this should be the indended behaviour?

Thanks for the clarification that this is problem with the right alt (a.k.a. altgr).  That reminds me of bug 247297, which sounds like exactly this issue.  Merging there.  Sadly, it sounds hard to fix, so you probably should just practice using left-alt. :-(

(If you're curious about the technical details, see comments 17 and 19 on that bug.)
