Allow Show Full URL on HTTP sites.

Reported by dustywo...@gmail.com, Nov 11 2017

Issue description

UserAgent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10_11_6) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/61.0.3163.100 Safari/537.36

Steps to reproduce the problem:
1. Browse to non-secure http:// site.
2. Attempt to highlight and copy just the domain name from URL bar.
3. Paste will show http:// is also copied to clipboard.

What is the expected behavior?
Only copy what is highlighted. If there was an option "Show Full URL on non-HTTPS sites" or something of that nature, it would be much appreciated.

What went wrong?
I am not able to simply highlight and copy the domain from the URL bar without also copying http:// prepended to the clipboard.

Did this work before? Yes Not sure, couple of years.

Chrome version: 61.0.3163.100  Channel: stable
OS Version: OS X 10.11.6
Flash Version: 

This may be more of a feature request to allow "debeautification" of the URL bar than a bug. Here is a discussion that gives further insight.

We used to have the behavior you describe and received some complaints.  People usually seem to want the http:// part--they're often apparently intending to copy a URL, not just the domain name.  The current behavior is intentional, sorry.
