Selecting whole url in address bar, copying, and pasting pastes %xx encoding

Reported by milkmir...@gmail.com, Feb 10 2017

Issue description

UserAgent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/56.0.2924.87 Safari/537.36

Steps to reproduce the problem:
1. Go to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spin–orbit interaction 
2. Triple click address bar to select
3. Paste into a text field or another address bar with middle click and 

or

3. Ctrl c
4. Ctrl v in a textfield or address bar, same issue

What is the expected behavior?
1. Go to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spin–orbit interaction 
2. Triple click address bar to select
3. Paste into a text field or another address bar with middle click and get https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spin–orbit interaction

What went wrong?
Pasting returns https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spin%E2%80%93orbit_interaction instead

Did this work before? No 

Chrome version: 56.0.2924.87  Channel: stable
OS Version: Arch Linux 4.9.8-1-ARCH
Flash Version: Shockwave Flash 24.0 r0

Selecting with clicking and dragging across the whole address gives the same.

But

Selecting all but the first character 'h' by clicking and dragging and using either copy/paste method returns the correct characters, i.e. ttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spin–orbit_interaction

I've noticed this problem for a while now. I haven't checked on other Linux systems though.

Able to reproduce this issue on Mac 10.12.2, Win-10 and Ubuntu 14.04 using chrome reported version #56.0.2924.87 and latest canary #58.0.3012.0.

This is a non-regression issue as it is observed from M30 old builds. 

Hence, marking it as untriaged to get more inputs from dev team.

Thanks...!!

When you select all of the text, you get a valid URL, which is normalized according to the rules of URI normalization. %-escaping is required for certain URL components. You'll also see that a "http://" is magically added to the front of the URL if the scheme was omitted.

However, when you select only part of the text, you get the exact text you selected.

I believe this is working as intended.
