We explicitly don't bump the typed count of pasted URLs, in order to avoid problematic behavior when users paste in things.

That's because typing from the middle of a word gets results from the HistoryContents provider, which can't score as highly as the HistoryURL provider and SearchProvider results that are filling your top two rows. Some scoring changes I'd eventually like to make might allow this result to move to row 2 instead of row 3. However, we will never put this in row 1. row 1 is the action to take by default when you press enter, and in order to not make people go insane, that needs to be whatever action you would expect merely from reading the text in the edit field, ignoring the dropdown. Since we can't inline autocomplete from the middle of a word (and it would be confusing even if we did), we can only let row 1 be "navigate to what I typed" or "search for what I typed". That's not as bad as it seems. Given the differences between the dropdown designs, something in row 2 in Chromium is the same number of keystrokes away as something in row 1 in another browser.
