Description
A very big bug for the unfortunate few: The first time one visits the
wp-admin/options-permalink.php page, one sees models like
http://localhost/articles/2009/01/sample-post/ above the custom
structure box, and thus might easily think you want everything,
including "http" to be filled into the custom structure box. This will
give all kinds of problems.
It turns out that one needs to click one of the other buttons to
reveal that all you don't want us to include that much.
You may think "of course" but I'm here to tell you that I fell for it,
and wasted a half an hour figuring out what was wrong.

Would probably be less of an issue should #6481 be committed, as then there would be an example in the custom structure box already.

- Keywords needs-patch added
- Milestone changed from 2.8 to Future Release
punting to future from lack of patch, and given that #6481 has one

I think this looks a lot more consistent

This crops up on support forums once in a while.
8952.diff looks like a good enhancement: 8952.after.png.
it might make sense to add get_option(home) before the text box.
