I was writing the following before I got to read your post, which 
sounds similar. My problem concerns local files. But I am adding this 
to your thread.

There seems to be something wrong with Konqueror 2.1's popup url 
completion. This is one of the options on the context menu (submenu 
Completion) that appears when you right click on the text entry field 
in the Location Toolbar. Other options are automatic, semi-automatic, 
none and manual.

Under popup completion if I tab at a url, a list of possible files, 
folders or webpages pops up. I can then continuing tabbing until i 
reach the item I want. This is quite similar to bash's own name 
completion feature.

Let's say I want to go to the folder "/home/penguin/infobank/http". 
Beginning at the folder "/home/penguin/", I press "i" and a list that 
includes "/home/penguin/infobank/" pops up. I tab to select 
"/home/penguin/infobank/". I further type "h" and soon I get 
"/home/penguin/infobank/http". I press enter and I'm finally taken to 
the folder http.That's the predictable part.

However when I delete back the "http" and press enter, instead of 
taking me to the parent directory "home/penguin/infobank/", konqueror 
dumps me back in "/home/penguin/infobank/http." In fact, I can't 
access any other subfolder of penguin without pressing the X button 
in the toolbar (thereby starting afresh).

This was not the way konqueror behaved in beta 2. Is this a bug or is 
it just my machine?
