I'm trying to avoid constructing a strawman argument here, but look at the attached screenshots. It's almost impossible to spot anything in the drop-down, but in the menu it's easy. My Usability Argument: In my screenshot I have typed "news". That is the only text I will type, and I will then use the cursor keys to select things. If it was an auto-complete widget then I *could* just continue typing until the target item is within a decent "range". But I can't. So while the drop-down looks like an auto-complete, it isn't. It's a way to select a subset of bookmarks/history and then allow the user to select something from there. That's my argument for why we should be arranging the bookmarks in a way that's navigable and organised rather than "most recent" or other orders. Peter.
