Copying from the Android Chrome's Omnibox should not remove text selection

Project Member Reported by samsmlee@google.com, Apr 27 2016

Issue description

Steps to reproduce the problem:
1. Open Android Chrome
2. Select some letters in the Omnibox (e.g. by long pressing on a word)
3. Copy the text selection (e.g. by Ctrl + C on a physical keyboard or pressing "Copy" from Contextual Action Mode.)
4. BUG:The text selection is reset.

What is the expected behavior?
The text selection should remain as is.

What went wrong?
The text selection is reset and moves to the end of the Omnibox.

Did this work before? N/A 

Chrome version: 49.0.2623.105  Channel: n/a
OS Version: M5C14J
Flash Version: 

Desktop Chrome behaves as the expected behavior.
Other Android views (including EditText) behaves as the expected behavior.

Yes. This is an expected behaviour as per Android UX. On any "TextView", upon doing long press + press "Copy", it dismisses the selection. For keeping it uniform on full platform currently chrome also following same. We need UX approval for this change.

FYI, desktop Chrome (Ubuntu, Mac, Windows) as well as Android Views do not behave like this. 
I agree, Ubuntu, Mac, Window platform behaves as you indicated.
In Android, all other apps are clearing selection upon clicking copy option from action bar. Are you seeing this problem only on M version of Android ?

Note: I am referring L version of Android.
Ah, Sorry. This bug seems to be happening only when I use the keyboard shortcut (Ctrl + C), and does not happen if I click "Copy" via Contextual Action Mode.
Ok. Thanks for the information. I will look into it later today.

donnd@ I will look into this issue later today. Since platforms are changed a lot, I will check platform behavior and conclude.

@samsmlee - Could you revisit this bug once again and tell us are you facing same issue still ?

@Ted - As you mentioned in the review comment, we have to take a call on whether to give priority on Android behavior or Chrome behavior. I am not able to decide which is best. If it's not significant, we can close this issue upon getting feedback from samsmlee@

Currently all Editable in Android platform is behaving similar way. Bringing to Chromium behavior in Android doesn't make sense in this case. So closing this issue as can't fix. Thank you
