Both of these issues are rooted in the same thing. When it does not
work the way you want, and the decorator looks weird, it is because
the project has become attached to a repository connection where the
URL is the full URL to the project, as opposed to just the project
root. This happens for two reasons:

1) Occasionally people type in the URL's this way when creating the location.
2) The Import Project Set option will create the connections this way.

I have tried to fix #2 in the past, but to really do it will require
changing the format of the file. Feel free to enter an issue to
capture this. You can work around #2 by entering the repository URL
before importing.

The browser is working as designed. It roots itself with the URL of
the connection.
