Address bar click behavior is bugged in Chrome 60

Reported by chihuahu...@gmail.com, Aug 29 2017

Issue description

Chrome Version       : Version 60.0.3112.113 (Official Build) (64-bit)

What steps will reproduce the problem?
(1) Open a new tab
(2) Navigate to youtube.com
(3) Hover over "http://www.youtube.com" in the address bar
(4) The cursor will display as the "default" cursor instead of as the "text selection" cursor.
(5) Clicking and holding the mouse over https://www.youtube.com will drag the URL instead of highlighting the text.

What is the expected result?

Normally, when the cursor is over the URL, it shows a "text selection" cursor. Recently, I've noticed that that behavior is sometimes different. Hovering over the address bar will sometimes show the normal cursor instead of the "text selection" cursor.

This wouldn't be a big deal on its own; minor visual bugs pop up occasionally and are easy enough to ignore. But when this bug happens, it also causes a change in selecting the text in the address bar. 

What's also interesting is that this doesn't happen with all URLs. Google.com is fine, Gmail.com is fine, Facebook.com is fine, but Youtube.com and QVC.com, for example, consistently trigger the bug after being navigated to in a new tab.

This regression appeared recently, maybe a few weeks ago at most.

I'm seeing the behavior only on the first navigation after new tab, but I'm seeing it on all sites. (Maybe you just went to youtube first?)

Worse (or perhaps just related) is that, after selecting part of a URL, clicking in the content area (perhaps other focus changes will do it too) will not clear the selection boundaries - it only appears to hide them - so that the cursor will remain an arrow within that previous selection boundary.

This is all working in 62 (haven't checked 61) so obviously something didn't make it down to 60. I'll have to find the difference and see if we want to port it.

Looks like 60 is simply missing the removed 'SelectNone()' in 'OnBlur()', but fixing it was rejected for merge to 60. Marking duplicate of 740008.
