when address bar is selected, tapping the system back button should also deselect it

Reported by billdill...@gmail.com, Feb 12 2017

Issue description

Steps to reproduce the problem:
When the address bar is tapped/selected and then you tap the system back button (which is now pointing downward), doing so only closes the keyboard, you still have to either tap the back button once more or tap the webpage to deselect the address bar. I think we can save people some time and a tap if tapping the system back button closed both the keyboard and deselected the address bar at the same time. I believe this is the expected/intended and correct behavior. Opera for Android behaves in this way, and Firefox for Android does too (though Firefox uses an iPhone style "Cancel" button)

What is the expected behavior?

What went wrong?
see above

Did this work before? N/A 

Chrome version: 55  Channel: stable
OS Version: 6.0
Flash Version:

I really hope this didn't get ignored because, Safari for the iPhone has a 1-tap solution for this (a "Cancel" button that appears beside the URL bar) and this would bring Chrome for Android up to par. I see this as more of a bug than a feature request because when people tap that downward pointing arrow, they mean "undo", they want to close the keyboard and deselect the address bar with 1 tap
Here is a screenshot of Chrome for iPhone, I've put a red circle around the button. A single tap closes the keyboard and de-selects the URL bar. The Android system back button should do the same thing as this button. Please, make this change. Chrome for iPhone should not be better than Chrome for Android
