Autocomplete does not work if typing fast

The URL autocomplete feature does not work under the following conditions:

>an existing URL is selected >one or more characters are typed very quickly

It still works when the URL/search bar is empty/cleared or when one waits long enough until entering text, but it is very obstructive for users who value the speed of this application. The issue has existed for several updates and has not been fixed.

Thank you for your consideration.

Edit: Waiting does not eliminate the issue, instead multiple characters must be typed in order to trigger autocomplete—and only if multiple characters are typed slowly enough.
