Extra colon within URL breaks the Autocomplete functionality

[disposableone]

Steps to reproduce

Open Google News at https://news.google.com It resolves to https://news.google.com/topstories?hl=en-US&gl=US&ceid=US:en Click on address input field. Click add to autocomplete. Close tab. In the address field start typing news...and if you don't have other links saved, news.google.com/blah blah should auto complete. Click enter. Nothing happens, the page doesn't load. It looks like what breaks the functionality is the second colon in the link. Without a colon, everything works as expected.

Expected behavior

See above. Autocomplete link for Google news should load the page just fine.

Actual behavior

Device information

• Android device: Android 6.0.1, Samsung Note 4
• Focus version: 8.8.4

I was able to reproduce this issue on the latest Focus nightly 100.0a1 (build 360940510 with GV 100.0a1-20220403090644) with Google Pixel (Android 10). STR are:

1. Open Google News at https://news.google.com/.
2. The page loads as https://news.google.com/topstories?hl=en-US&gl=US&ceid=US:en.
3. Long tap on the search field and copy the link.
4. Go to Settings - Search - URL Autocomplete - Manage sites - +Add custom URL, and paste the link from step 2.
5. Save it.
6. Exit Settings, tap on the trashcan icon.
7. Type "news" on the search field.
8. The link auto completes, but nothing is loading, the page is blank.
