Yes, that is a known issue.

Ctrl+Enter only works if there is a single domain and no longer works with multiple domains.
This is caused by implementing switch to tab that can be bypassed with the Shift and Ctrl key.
Two relevant bug reports:

  • Bug 688395 - CTRL+Enter does not append .com after getting a server not found error
  • Bug 673528 - using Shift to bypass "switch to tab" doesn't work anymore (loads www.domain.com.net)

(please do not comment in bug reports)
