Issue descriptionUserAgent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.3) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/61.0.3133.0 Safari/537.36 Steps to reproduce the problem: 1. navigate to a url long enough that is not entirely visible in omnibox 2. click the omnibox and press end key or use right arrow on keyboard to view the end of the url 3. switch mouse focus away from chrome animation here: http://i.imgur.com/AnswV0B.gifv What is the expected behavior? continue seeing the end of the url after window has lost focus What went wrong? omnibox resets the view of the url starting with the beginning in the left, hiding the far right text of the url that I wanted to see Did this work before? No Chrome version: 61.0.3133.0 Channel: canary OS Version: 6.3 Flash Version: the title is only the cause of the issue that I am reporting; what I want is not necesarily to fix that cause but provide a way to keep seeing the far right part of the url even after window loses focus.

Able to reproduce the issue on windows 7, Ubuntu 14.04 using chrome stable-59.0.3071.104 & Canary-61.0.3135.0 as per the steps mentioned in comment#0. This is non regression issue observed from M30,hence marking it as 'Untriaged' to get more inputs from dev for further investigation. Note: No issue observed on Mac 10.12.5 Please find the attached screencast for reference. Thanks..!!

pkasting@, is this issue by design or not? (show left side / origin of omnibox when Chrome loses focus)

Yes, krb@ changed this recently to try and defend against spoofs.

Could I suggest on this issue or should I file a new one? The real purpose for my issue is desire is to be able to view the end of the url if it does not fit inside the omnibox when the chrome window loses focus. I could see a different solution that can comply with the goal of defending spoofs: break the url in the middle, replace parts of it with dots and this way I can still see the beginning of the url and also view the end of it. So it would look like this in omnibox https://bugs.chromium.org/p/c...detail?id=734326#c5

It would be helpful to understand the specific cases where it's useful to view the end of the URL. Knowing that would help us understand how and when to elide.

one example is that many times the url ends with a number parameter that you want to keep track when you have multiple windows open (just the first that came to mind. i will add more next time I find the need to view the end of the url)

I'd need to understand more about what kind of number parameters would appear in what scenarios. Basically, the goal is to really get to the root of what you're doing and when, because users see all kinds of different URLs and do different things, and we have to pick a single behavior that works best for everyone. |
