Character fades on URL auto-completion

Reported by olen.and...@gmail.com, Apr 19 2018

Issue description

Chrome Version       : Version 65.0.3325.181 (Official Build) (64-bit)
URLs (if applicable) : lefigaro.fr

What steps will reproduce the problem?
(1) Have 'lefigaro.fr' (haven't tested with other URLs) in your auto-complete URL.
(2) Start typing 'lef'
(3) It will auto-complete to 'lefigaro.fr'

What is the expected result?

'lef' should be displayed normally, and 'igaro.fr' should be high-lightened.

What happens instead?

The 'f' of 'lef' is faded (greyed out)

See the screenshot to see the result. It might also happen with other combinations of letters, but that's the one I know that replicates all the time.

I'm using Ubuntu 16.04 LTS

Undupping; these are two separate issue.  (The other bug has to with erroneously bolding the last character in a suggested query associated with an answer.  This bug has to do with incorrectly fading a character in the middle of a URL being inline autocompleted.)

I think this is likely a dup of bug 702716.

What language setting do you have on Linux and in Chrome?  Also, any unusual fonts installed?

Language is English, and I'm not using any custom fonts.
I've attached the list of installed fonts currently on my computer and also the list of google chrome settings (should be defaults).

olen.andoni@, do you happen to know if 'fl' is a digraph* in this case?

I believe fl can be a digraph (like ff or ae). If this is a digraph then both the f and the l will have the same color (because they are the same glyph) and that would be a dupe of bug 702716. (as suggested in #4).

*by that I mean two letters smushed together into one.
Whoops, I meant 'fi' (substitute all my fl references in #7 with fi)
And by digraph, I really mean ligature (I confuse the terms sometimes and just did so in #7).

See also: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Typographic_ligature
I'm not sure about that, but from the wiki link it says that it is actually a ligature (f + i).

Thanks for the font list!  It certainly sounds like the same issue.  The font list / settings will help us test our fix whenever we get around to fixing it.
