When the user requests a page this starts a request in the webview, then once this has completed a loadEvent is fired [0]. This load event adds a history entry with url and current title (the url) [1] and stores the url in an internal cache [2]. The normally when a page has finished rendering the title changes [3], which updates the history entry with the new title and blocks any future updates.
However if you start a request to another page while loading a slow page and the title has not changed. Then the onTitleChanged [3] code is triggered before the loadEvent [0] as the title is updated to the new request url. But because of the cached url [2] it updates the wrong history entry. I've found a reproducible way of doing this on my machine. Navigate to [4]. Click on one of the entries, such as Firewatch [5]. Now as the page is loading quickly navigate to google.com. If you were fast enough, when you type "Firewatch" into the address bar you get a title of "google.com" and a url of "store.playstation.com/..." So to resolve this issue when a new page is requested, the cache needs to be unset or the code in onTitleChanged needs to be blocked. 0 - http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~phablet-team/webbrowser-app/trunk/view/head:/src/app/webbrowser/Browser.qml#L1237 1 - http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~phablet-team/webbrowser-app/trunk/view/head:/src/app/webbrowser/Browser.qml#L1252 2 - http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~phablet-team/webbrowser-app/trunk/view/head:/src/app/webbrowser/Browser.qml#L1231 3 - http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~phablet-team/webbrowser-app/trunk/view/head:/src/app/webbrowser/Browser.qml#L1255 4 - http://www.thesixthaxis.com/2016/10/05/the-october-savings-sale-for-the-ps-store-is-now-live/ 5 - https://store.playstation.com/#!/cid=EP0144-CUSA04118_00-FIREWATCH0000000?smcid=psblog:en:October savings start today on PlayStation Store, inc.

The list is composed of url with a description of the address. But sometimes (and quite randomly it seems) the url address and the description do not match at all. Guess: It seems to happen with websites that I had removed from the history. Actually, a website that has been suppressed from the history should not appear in the url list no?
